I am very sorry to have to say this,but this work stand is the cheapest thing thst I have ever bought on Amazon.The artifical wooden top was split in half,I had to glue it,and clamp it.There was only two metal braces for the top support.I would never recommend this product to anyone.
The first work table top split horizontally before ever being used. Fox D2056 Tool Table for grinder- The top is not a laminated wood product or even a glued wood product. It is more like compressed sawdust or cardboard material. The second top from Grizzelie has gouges and scratches and peeled covering as well as being absolutely filthy with dirt on all surfaces. Unless you already have a wood work surface for this table, don't waste your money.
The directions are pathetic and reference "star washers" which are not included. Well, it might be safe with 700 ounces.
The MDF top disintegrates to sawdust upon drilling. The photos cleaverly hide the lack of top braces on the short sides.
This exact table is branded variously and comes in different colors. This table is rated up to 700 pounds.
The little mid-leg side braces you see in the picture are the only items helping the soggy top to hold the front and rear leg assemblies in place. The hardware baggie was busted so the weeny little undersized nuts, bolts and washers had spilled out in the shipping box migrating to every cranny (so much for the 20 minutes assembly time).
By the way its on sale at Western Tool outlets for $29 and change, and not worth a penny of that. However, the hardware includes about 32 extra washers with which you can make a nice bracelet.I feel sure there are some chinese engineers out there laughing hysterically at their little joke.
Rather than have Shop Fox replace the top with another that may have the same problem I decided to use 1" Baltic Birch plywood for the top. After attaching the table top I tightened the base and found the entire unit to be very sturdy with a solid feel and easy to level.
The package and all of its contents arrived in good condition. I purchased this base for my large bench top drill press.
I pre-drilled the top to the depth specified in the directions. My first disappointment was the butcher block table top which is nothing more than MDF with wood grain paper to give a woodlike appearance.
I assembled the base according to directions, leaving most of it loose until the top is attached. When I returned to my shop an hour later to start moving the drill press, I noticed the top had developed severe cracks running parallel to the top and bottom at three of the four corners, some of the cracks 6" long.
The table base is great, but the top has serious problems and is very disappointing.
Found this awesome, strong table at the Sacramento Woodworking Show. Easy to assemble in 20 minutes or less. I use it for my chop saws, surface planer, bench grinder and an extra saw horse.
It more than lives up to its claims. I just ordered another one for my shop. What a buy.
So many multiple uses. Great utility, very beefy, nice finish. Adjustable feet makes it very stable.
AND THE PRICE.EXCELLENT VALUE. Enjoy yours.
