A workbench is a sturdy and durable surface designed for tasks such as assembly, repairs, and DIY projects. They provide a stable platform for working with tools, materials, and equipment, making them essential for garages, workshops, and industrial environments.
Workbenches can be used in a variety of settings, including home garages, professional workshops, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. They are perfect for DIY enthusiasts, mechanics, engineers, and anyone who needs a solid surface for projects and repairs.
A workbench is more than just a surface—it's an essential part of any efficient workspace. Whether you're tackling DIY projects or handling professional tasks, a sturdy workbench provides the support and stability needed to work safely and comfortably.
The ideal size depends on your workspace and the tasks you need to perform. A general guideline is a surface height of around 90cm and a depth of 60cm. Ensure you have enough space around the workbench for tools and materials.
Our workbenches are made from melamine, chipboard, or MDF so oiling is not necessary. These materials have a durable surface that does not absorb oil like natural wood. Instead, keep the surface clean by wiping it down regularly and avoiding excessive moisture to maintain its condition.
Yes, a level workbench ensures stability and precision when working on projects. Use a spirit level or a leveller to check and adjust the workbench to ensure its level.
You should allow at least 1-2 feet of clearance around the workbench to ensure easy movement and access to tools and materials.
Workbenches made from melamine have a moisture-resistant surface, making them more resistant to spills and damp conditions. However, chipboard and MDF are more absorbent and can swell or weaken if exposed to water for long periods.
Yes, you can attach a vice to most workbenches, but the suitability depends on the surface material. Melamine is smooth and resistant to damage, but it may require reinforcement to securely hold a vice. Chipboard and MDF can support a vice, but it's best to use bolts with backing plates rather than screws alone, as these materials are prone to splitting under pressure. Always check the load-bearing capacity of your workbench before installing heavy-duty tools.
