How to choose professional workbench

Are you looking for a professional workbench to put inside your workshop, but you don't know which one to get? Following our indications, your doubts about the choice of the workbench will be dissolved.

First, the workbench is an essential element inside a workshop because, from this type of bench starts every activity related to the assembly or disassembly of engines, furniture and structures of any material.

Therefore, given the many versions that are on the market, the most important rule to respect during the choice will be to understand for what work and for what dynamics of your profession you will need a workbench.

Workbench features: the 7 aspects to consider

1. The material: composed of a sturdy metal (stainless steel) or wooden structure (typical of the carpenter's bench) with a thick wooden or laminate work surface. These features make for a durable and sturdy workbench.
   The work surface must have the ability to absorb blows, therefore, it is very important to avoid a wooden surface.
2. Consideration of weight: If you are working with heavy materials such as engines or large pieces of wood, the bench must be solid, with strong joints and not subject to vibration. In addition, the feet should be rubberized and prevent slipping.
3. The tool holder: to optimize and speed up each step during work, the table must have a perforated panel. This device allows to have at hand all the tools such as wrenches, cutters, screwdrivers, pliers, etc. ....
4. Cabinets and drawers: they serve to gain space on the plan, arranging all the professional tools and power tools of the trade.
5. The plans of the bench: the first two plans are usually the support surface and a lower level where to store tools.

While, if you want to further reorganize the space, the worktable can have a third floor.

6. Drill and grinder are essential: drill press for precision work and professional grinder for wood and metal work are essential tools for a great workbench.
7. A good vise: If you're a plumber or work with pipes, your professional workbench should have a good vise. Alternatively, a folding workbench is also a good solution.
