10 best workbenches

The workbench is not just a desktop. This is a universal tool that is able to help a specialist in any tasks. But it is very important to choose the desktop correctly so that it is really practical and useful, but it does not cost too much.

Therefore, we have compiled a rating of the top 10 workbenches that will help both generalists and joiners and mechanics.

How to choose a workbench

When choosing a workbench in the first place, you should decide on what materials it is planned to process on it. If the tree and the workpiece from it - then buying a carpentry is a good solution; if metal - metalwork; if both are universal. Types of desktops differ not only in names, but also in design. For example, a carpentry may have small cracks in the case, which in principle do not affect the functionality and practicality - but are easily clogged with metal chips when processing the corresponding blanks.

An important parameter that is worth paying attention to is the material of the countertop. Linoleum plating is a good solution for working with small details. Metallic coating of steel sheets - for processing the same metal blanks. Polypropylene, due to its resistance to aggressive chemicals, is suitable for surfaces where it is planned to work with solvents, paint products, etc.

But the depth, width of the workbench and the number of thumbs for the storage of tools - the characteristics are purely subjective and depend on the nature of the work that is planned to be performed behind this “piece of furniture”.
