Error copying Table but not Range Excel VBA

I have a working script that auto-copies specific cells from a Master Sheet to a secondary Sheet. This script works fine if the Master is set as a range but returns an error when converted to a table.

Script:

Option Explicit

Sub FilterAndCopy()
    Dim rng As Range, sht1 As Worksheet, sht2 As Worksheet

    Set sht1 = Worksheets("SHIFT LOG")
    Set sht2 = Worksheets("FAULTS RAISED")

    sht2.UsedRange.ClearContents

    With Intersect(sht1.Columns("B:BP"), sht1.UsedRange)
        .Cells.EntireColumn.Hidden = False ' unhide columns
        If .Parent.AutoFilterMode Then .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False
        'within B:BP, column B is the first column
        .AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="Faults Raised"
        'within B:BP, Columns B:C, AC:AE, BP are referenced as .Columns A:B, AB:AD, BO
        .Range("A:B, AB:AD, BO:BO").Copy Destination:=sht2.Cells(4, "B")
        .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False

        'no need to delete what was never there
        'within B:BP, Columns C:AA, AE:BN, BP are referenced as .Columns B:Z, AD:BM
        .Range("B:Z").EntireColumn.Hidden = True ' hide columns
        .Range("AD:BM").EntireColumn.Hidden = True ' hide columns
    End With
End Sub

I have tried changing Range to Table throughout the script (see below). But it returns an error on the following line.

Option Explicit

Sub FilterAndCopy()
    Dim rng As Table, sht1 As Worksheet, sht2 As Worksheet

    Set sht1 = Worksheets("SHIFT LOG")
    Set sht2 = Worksheets("FAULTS RAISED")

    sht2.UsedTable.ClearContents

    With Intersect(sht1.Columns("B:BP"), sht1.UsedTable)
        .Cells.EntireColumn.Hidden = False ' unhide columns
        If .Parent.AutoFilterMode Then .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False
        'within B:BP, column B is the first column
        .AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="Faults Raised"
        'within B:BP, Columns B:C, AC:AE, BP are referenced as .Columns A:B, AB:AD, BO
        .Table("A:B, AB:AD, BO:BO").Copy Destination:=sht2.Cells(4, "B")
        .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False

        'no need to delete what was never there
        'within B:BP, Columns C:AA, AE:BN, BP are referenced as .Columns B:Z, AD:BM
        .Table("B:Z").EntireColumn.Hidden = True ' hide columns
        .Table("AD:BM").EntireColumn.Hidden = True ' hide columns
    End With
End Sub

.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="Faults Raised"

The error is: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Autofilter' of object 'Range' failed

There is no such thing as a .UsedTable Range. In order to focus only on the table and the data therein you should use the ListObject and the .DataBodyRange property.

This is the basic idea in getting data from a ListObject.

Sub test()

Debug.Print ActiveSheet.ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange.Address

End Sub

Here is your script changed to include the above:

Sub FilterAndCopy()
    Dim rng As Range, sht1 As Worksheet, sht2 As Worksheet

    Set sht1 = Worksheets("SHIFT LOG")
    Set sht2 = Worksheets("FAULTS RAISED")

    sht2.ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange.ClearContents

    With Intersect(sht1.Columns("B:BP"), sht1.ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange)
        .Cells.EntireColumn.Hidden = False ' unhide columns
        If .Parent.AutoFilterMode Then .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False
        'within B:BP, column B is the first column
        .AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="Faults Raised"
        'within B:BP, Columns B:C, AC:AE, BP are referenced as .Columns A:B, AB:AD, BO
        Dim rngToCopy As Range
        Set rngToCopy = Intersect(.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible), sht1.Range("A:B, AB:AD, BO:BO"))
        Debug.Print rngToCopy.Address
        rngToCopy.Copy Destination:=sht2.Cells(4, "B")
        .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False

        'no need to delete what was never there
        'within B:BP, Columns C:AA, AE:BN, BP are referenced as .Columns B:Z, AD:BM
        .Range("B:Z").EntireColumn.Hidden = True ' hide columns
        .Range("AD:BM").EntireColumn.Hidden = True ' hide columns
    End With
End Sub
