Woodworking Benches A selection of benches available in Australia Presentation by John Karas to TOCACT meeting 5 May 2019
Intent of Presentation • The following slides are a selection of workbenches I have been able to find on the internet. • The aim is to provide TOCACT members insights into the type and range of benches that are available and their likely costs. • It is a guide only. • The lists are not meant to be exhaustive. • They do not include suppliers and benches where follow-up enquires are needed to get quotes. • The information is presented as factual data with no intent to indicate personal preferences. • Members seeking to source a workbench should do their own follow-up research to verify specifications and prices.
