Long story made short:
Some time ago, after some years of having B&D Workmates, bought or inherited, I bought a Wolfcraft 800 folding workbench
and found it vastly superior to the "market leader".
Because of carelessness and neglect it now needs some refurbishment.
Can't get the spares I need for it (mainly the top(s)), so I started looking at alternatives.
Found nothing that looked anywhere near as good, but I did find so-called review sites saying the B&D was the bees knees. Good grief.
Was going to ask here, but then thought "why not just make some new tops out of marine ply?" I don't need all the printed measuring sticks and protractors, just flat tops and some holes for the plastic clamp wedge doobries. Although TBH I cant remember when I last used them.
But when I'd looked at the current Wolfcraft range I saw the Mastercut 2500 table, and thought "that looks like it might be handy".
as I've got a corderd circular saw, jigsaw and router I could fix to it.
I've not really looked into alterntives, except that I've seen a few skeletal things for mounting mitre saws.
Any others I should look at at around £3 - 400-ish? (the wolfcraft with the router accessory comes in at £390) I'm not a "woodworker", I don't have a workshop so it needs to be folding.
And that's short? I have a vacancy for an editor...
