Wolfcraft Master Cut 1000 Workbench

My old B&D Workmate is dying. Came across the above and it looks pretty
handy with the ability to mount jigsaws, circular saws and routers, as well
as what looks like (as far as I can see in the pictures) a fairly versatile
clamping system.

Just wondered if anyone had any first hand experience?

Cheers

I have one (or at least one similar). Mine calls itself a
"Multi-purpose work and machine table", it's model number 6165 which
doesn't appear to be available now but you get lots of hits for
accessories for it. I just did a search for "Wolfcraft Master Cut
1000 Workbench" and, yes, that looks just like mine.

My feeling is that it's OK[ish] but could be a lot better. I have
used it as a saw table (with my Skill Classic saw) and it's OK for
that. I've not really exercised the router accessories.

My main problems with it are that it's not very rigid, especially
'across the frame' as it were and that all the accessory bits and
pieces stick out in awkward places and make it less useful as a
straightforward bench because whenever you try and clamp something to
it there's something in the way.

If you have any specific questions please feel free to ask, my E-Mail
here is valid if you want to use that.

==========================================

No personal experience of this one, but it's a bit cheaper at Machinemart:

You might find it's a bit of a throwback to the days of multiple
attachment changing - drill + sander / saw / etc. = a bit of a pain to use.

Got the same one from Screwfix - for me, with very limited storage then
it's a good useful workbench. I've used mine both as a 1/2" router table
and a saw bench using a circular saw. Like Chris says, it's not the most
stable of things in the world, but provided you don't take the pee with
it and what you're working with then it holds its own.

Thanks to everyone. It can't be much worse than the old B&D I've been using
for stability - and old plastic sawhorses on bricks to support long
lenghts. I don;t expect much so I'm probably going to be happy with this.
It's the clamping versatility (or lack of) that's been biting me with the
B&D and the top's dying (water damage) and the jaws never open enough to
clamp anything useful in them...

It could certainly solve a lot of problems like being a simple router table,
and sawbench for the next couple of years until I build my shed

I'll keep the B&D as a secondary support and mitre saw bench - it's OK for
that as I've screwed the saw down to the top.

Cheers

Typical German bloke - all his tools arranged neatly on shelves!

Not of that, but I have one of these
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-Magnu.../dp/B000EOW5LY
which I find brilliant.

Built like a brick outbuilding, big clamping range, fast clamping & you can
run a router or circ saw along the guides on the inside of the jaws.

Since they have brought out a turbo nutter ******* version
http://www.draper.co.uk/catalogue/Pa...e/p343-345.pdf third one down.

'kin *how much* !

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "R" saying
something like:

'kin exactly!
And look at the price of the bare steel bench.

I didn't think £125 was unreasonable for the workbench mentioned.
A quick google will find where they are this price as the draper catalogue
price is grossly inflated.

The one I bought was the 800 & it was around £60.

Eh? I'm referring to the four hundred pounds Sterling one.

I believe I am also referring to that one.
