Heavy Duty Flip-Top Workbench

I needed to free up some bench space so I designed and made a heavy duty flip-top workbench for my drop saw and thicknesser planer.

I used the free online version of sketchup to design this

Very nice job, it looks solid as. A guard on the angle grinder is ALWAYS a good idea. Those things make a mess of the fingers if the blade lets go.

[@awatts5928]

Brilliant. Simple and damn effective. Could i suggest using a piece of pipe in the stand and table where the locking bolt goes in, to ensure it doesn't elongate the holes over time. I would also use a locking bolt on each side to balance the stresses on the frame which will reduce the possibility of frame twisting over time.

This is terrific! I've been looking for an 'easy' flip table and I know I can handle this as a beginner. Thank you so much!!

[@mvukkaz4899]

As usual, great work Mark!

[@TheBigORanch]

Right on! Excellent work. I had the same concern about the weight distribution.

[@paulangus715]

It’s great to see you posting your builds. I love the space saving design too @Mark Susak Well done!

[@MarkSusak]

Thank you Paul

[@papergatorzfedducca7998]

You the man bro!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@TheGbow0704]

Great design Mark, as usual you bring practical useful projects.

[@MarkSusak]

Thank you Greg

[@byronglass882]

Nice work, no way to improve it, just great.

[@growyourworld7947]

I LIKE IT.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@howardaappel194]

Long time no see. Good to see you again.

[@MarkSusak]

Happy to be back and thank you

U should he able to adjust the depth at which the nail gun shoots the nail and fix that problem

[@elsekleszyk]

Hi! Nice bench! But i have a question. Have you changed the thicknesser because this jwp-jet is weak or have you just changed?

[@tombowden5335]

Awesome build! Hey, how much did the timber for this project set you back? Most of these videos are American...

[@MarkSusak]

Thanks Tom. I used hardwood plywood so this project set me back about 300.. if I used regular plywood which would have been sufficient it would have been half

[@joser1219]

I didn't know butter cuts 😜. Cool build though.

[@IsaKocoglu]

Good one Mark! I built one, but with posts for legs, which are wobbling now. I plan to build a new one, with plywood sides for a more sturdy build. Also, I will be using bearings to hold the pole of the flip board to the frame. I wonder if the bearings are over engineering though? I may ask you for an update on your flip bench after six or twelves months.

[@MarkSusak]

Thanks. I was thinking of bearings however I can’t see myself needing them. But who knows haha

[@IsaKocoglu]

@@MarkSusak I set myself a reminder for every six months to check up in if bearings would have been better? I will check up on this another six months from now for one last time, to see how they have held up without bearings, if no bearings have been added 😉🇦🇺👍

[@MarkSusak]

@@IsaKocoglu works great! Haven’t had any issues since I’ve made it. Bearings would be fun. But as it only gets flipped 1-4 times each project. No wear at all

[@IsaKocoglu]

@@MarkSusak that is great news! If it is ok with you, I will request a final update in another six months?

[@IsaKocoglu]

@@MarkSusak one year on, how is it holding up Buddy?

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

Bloody brilliant mate 👍🏽 Did you turn the dial on the nail gun up to full power with the longer nails?

[@MarkSusak]

Thanks Bill. Yep I did! 1 size down works perfectly though

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

@@MarkSusak Well that's a pain in the arse then, you'd expect them to work if they fit... Those brads are far from cheap.

[@1927Scavengers]

Do you have the measurements in inches.

[@MightyHawx]

Nicely done. What happened to your Jet thicknesser?

[@MarkSusak]

Good eye and thanks! the jet ended up snapping the main shaft when cutting through a whole lot of reclaimed hardwood. Mostly my fault because the blades when dull and I thought I could finish up and get them sharpened the next day. Would have cost more than a new one to fix. This one is from my grandfather. the blower function with the breathable bag is good but I still get quite a few chips shooting out the front. Thanks for watching!!

not strong enough
