Benchmark Portable work bench

[builderbob]

a work table and a miter saw stand are two vastly different things for me and i need both in unison.

+1 on that!  I try to stay as compact as possible but if my setup is always getting in the way of itself it's very counterproductive for me!

It does seem that the table is wide enough to have the miter saw on one side (running the long way) and a work top on the reverse side...it seems like a neat product but it's just not for me!

I was thinking the same thing...why waste all that work space for a miter saw!  It defeats the point of a portable workbench.  I like the portable design and lightweight material.  I would definitely use with my TS 75 and Parallel Guides, but not the Kapex.  I am still saving up for the new Kapex portable stand...just a few more dollars to go!

Quick question, can this be adjusted to a high so it is level with an mft3?  Looks like there is about a 3" difference in height, but would the adjustable screw posts compensate?  Just seeing if it could easily be placed side by side with my mft to extend the workspace area...

These are the dimensions I currently have:

Benchmark Table:
Table dimensions (unfolded): 64.25"L x 37.5"W x 32.75"H
Table dimensions (folded): 64.25"L x 37.5"W x 6.5"H
Footprint: 80" x 37.5"
Weight: 53lbs

MFT/3
Table dimensions 45 9/16" x 30 7/16" ((1157 x 773 mm))
Weight 54 lbs (25 kg)
Work space 43 3/8" x 28 1/4" (1102 x 718 mm)
Working height [folded down] 35 7/16" [7 3/32"] ((900 mm [180 mm]))

I just checked mine and it looks like  the feet will adjust about 1 1/2" .

thanks for the info on the feet.  With the green, one would have through perhaps the height would have been designed to match up.  Maybe its at the height of the older 1080s....

I was thinking how I like the table but would like sacrificial 2x on the top since it makes
Cutting easier and faster- then you mentioned that the benchmark was too short.

What about attaching 2x to the sides of the green plastic top pieces? Maybe pilot drill holes in the green plastic and bolt the 2x on one side so it matches an mft3 in height.

Obviously it would be great if it was perfect out of the box but this way the height could match up and you could cut away w/out worrying about the table. When the 2x is getting a little hacked up the green plastic is predrilled and it would take no time to put new wood on.

Just looked for this table after watching a DIY rerun and want to pass along that this table is no longer available.  Judging from comments at  http://toolguyd.com/benchmark-portable-work-table/, the company that had this made may be defunct.

I may be wrong ,but be careful if purchasing. I read somewhere recently benchmark went under, and rumors about them still taking orders and your $ , without producing product.  I hope it's not true because the benchmark table looks great for the jobsite

seems Amazon has dropped these from selling on their site & the bench mark website was flagged as a unsafe-site with my malware software .
So beware   [eek]
