How can I spot good Workbenches / joiner's benches?
Inspecting the Workbench's Structure
First, visually inspect the workbench for any obvious signs of damage. Check if the legs are sturdy and all connections are secure. A wobbly workbench can be dangerous to work on.
Materials Used
A good workbench should have a thick, solid wood top. Hardwoods like beech or maple are preferred for their durability. Avoid workbenches with particle board or light plywood tops as they tend not to hold up well over time.
Evaluating the Work Surface
The top of the workbench should be flat and level. Any warping or bowing can interfere with the accuracy of your work. Use a spirit level to check the flatness of the surface.
Checking for Modifications
Look for any modifications or repairs. Sometimes previous owners modify benches to suit their needs, which might not align with yours. Make sure any additions or changes are beneficial and well made.
Assessing the Functionality
Consider the type of bench vice installed. A good workbench should have a sturdy, smoothly operating vice. Test the vice by opening and closing it to ensure it moves freely and doesn’t stick.
Storage and Additional Features
Good workbenches may include additional features like drawers for tool storage, which can help keep your workspace organized. Make sure the drawers open smoothly and are constructed solidly.
Size and Ergonomics
The height of the bench should be appropriate for the type of work you plan to do and should not cause strain over prolonged use. Stand by the bench to ensure it aligns comfortably with your waist.
Overall Condition
Even older workbenches can be a great investment if they have been well cared for. Check for any signs of excessive wear or pest infestation, especially in wooden benches.
