this one to use as a starting point, as i dont have the kit to do sheetmetal work. The plan would be to use the lip around the table to mount plexiglass 'walls' to.
Unfortunately i cant seem to find any suppliers who list the tables load capacity, and i really would like to know how sturdy these are before buying one.
Has anyone seen / bought one of these before? are they suitable for a benchtop mill?
Hi
I have a clarke workbench of the wooden kind cost a little less than the one you show at machine mart..The one I have would have no trouble holding a lathe/mill as every now and then I have put huge amount of weight on with no problems.
I have also seen your model with quite a latge cnc mill on it in a school so suggest you should have no problems - however a quick phone call to machine mart may help.
