Rewind tables designed for projection are typically vertically oriented, and are designed to work with film mounted on [[reels]], with either a [[split reel]] or [[trailer flange|flange]] required to rewind film mounted on [[core|cores]]. Rewinds manufactured for film editing may employ a multi-gang design, in which multiple reels are mounted on the same spindle. Inspection tables designed for archival use are often horizontally oriented '''flatbeds''' designed to work with film mounted on cores.

Inspection tables designed for archival use are often horizontally oriented '''flatbeds''' designed to work with film mounted on cores. In the platter era, some theaters replaced their rewind tables with make-up tables (MUTs) that could rewind film reel-to-reel in addition to spooling to and from the platter.


Vertical rewind tables may have spindles that face the operator (ex., Kelmar tables) or face away from the operator (ex., any hand-crank rewind). The spindles may have clips that fold up to retain the reel on the shaft, or they may be angled so that the reel is kept on the spindle by gravity.
