Folding workbench table

Here is an option how to make a folding tableif there is a suitable room. As you can see in the diagrams, the countertop will be supported by three supports mounted to the wall. Each support is based on hinges, which allows you to turn them close to the wall. With the racks retracted, the countertop (also hinged) drops down to rest on the upper parts of the supports. The design consists of three main parts - countertops, props and wall mounts. Moving parts at the joints are connected with butterfly loops. The countertop for this design turned out to be heavy, but strong, so use the most reliable door hinges that you will find in the hardware store.

 

Each support has a cut of 45 °, so the acute angle is removed and there is more space. Also provided for each support latch for fixing (as an option, an ordinary window shutter). Also note the photograph of the clearance around the bolt head to provide room for the socket wrench. Take a close look at the step-by-step photos; all the connections are shown there in large detail.

In many cases, a milling cutter is an indispensable thing. But does it make sense to buy a whole workbench if you use it once every half a year. Naturally, it is better to make a folding table for the router and install it as needed. You can use any kind of surface or make a simple surface with a slot. In this case, plywood and hardened hardboard were used. The main task - set the router correctly, how the author approached the solution of this issue, see step-by-step photographs. From below, do not forget to make an additional sample for the dust collector cover; a vacuum hose is installed on this workbench to extract dust and chips. Why two triangles were cut from the sides and one from above. Then you need to measure the diameter of the hose and cut a hole that will exactly match the dimensions. At the end of the base, attach the hose to the glue. Perhaps the resulting workbench can still be modified aesthetically and add a little weight to the legs for strength

Folding work bench for a face saw

Not all miter saw models have sufficiently large side supports, so long workpieces sag, which of course interferes with quality work. Worse, security breachesawes, because the table may just tip over. Therefore, the lateral support legs should be of sufficient length, which is not very convenient. The best way out is make a folding workbench for a miter saw, that is, make expansion tables with stops on the sides. The options may be different, in this case, the author proposes to make a compact workbench, with side folding tables on flat supports. This is more appropriate than using legs, the load on the tables is negligible, so this option is more convenient.

Folding table for feeding a circular saw

To work with long workpieces, additional support is sometimes necessary, you can solve this issue, making a folding table for feeding a circular saw with your own hands.

The photo shows an example of how this can be done. The table is attached directly to the workbench of the circular saw and has swivel mechanism. For the manufacture of needed: miter saw, grinder, plane, glue, clamps and electric drill. By the way, a drilling machine is a much more accurate tool for creating holes than hand drills. If you are careful, the drill can easily move away from the midline, which can result in the axis of the hole being not perpendicular. The most difficult part is to correctly make the hinges on which the cover will rise and fall. It is also necessary to attach small loops that allow you to fold and lock in the upper position of the table legs.
