Benchtop Tool System
My shop is in a two-car garage, which (outrageously enough) I must share with two cars. That’s why I use benchtop tools. Unfortunately, they’re somewhat hard to store. My benchtop tools are bolted to four plywood bases that slide into the rack. Nothing special so far. But the plywood bases have a center 2×2 frame that’s slightly smaller than the maximum opening on my Work-Mate. Once I set the tool in place, a single turn of the clamping handles holds the tool securely. The resulting workstation is remarkably solid, doesn’t “walk” across the floor, and can be quickly stowed away when I need the space for something else. |
