7492 integrated Operator’s Assembly bench

[u/Grobotron]

Hello fellow workbench enthusiasts! My take on the classic 7492/85 style workbench we all know and love. Pine legs and aprons/braces, 20mm plywood for low and 18mm for mid bases. Pocket holes were deemed appropriate as a joinery method at the time. Top consists of three separate MDF parts mounted with threaded inserts for replaceability - large outfeed part will become MFT/dogholes in the future. Overall benchtop surface is 1500x1500mm - so it can fully support the common size of ply in these places. The saw is shimmed to stay level with all top surfaces. The router table part was situated to take advantage of DeWalt’s rack and pinion fence. Although my trim router lift and plate are pure chinesium the fence makes a world of difference! All Dust collection in the shop is on the remote controlled sockets and the bench has a 50liter “bucket” type collector for the saw. I can highly recommend such type of sockets - they are extremely convenient while running say a battery powered track saw with your regular shopvac!

I finished the router fence last weekend and pushed on with the redoing the crosscut sled and making a tapering jig in span of the week so I thought maybe it’s time to share my take on the jobsite saw workbench!

I’m in the middle of making something very similar to the front half of that, but the back half is going to be a separate dual purpose workbench/potting table I can clip to it.

I saw a guy make clip on router table attachment with a pistol grip track clamps - very much like microjig’s matchfit but adapted for special purposes! I’ve been thinking of making clip on infeed attachment for ripping larger stock on the saw.
