Best Machine stand

Table saws, table drilling machines, table grinding machines and all other do-it-yourself machines, which need a table as stand underlay, are suitable for a machine stand. Do-it-yourself work is generally done in the garage, shed or basement. This is where the machine stand finds its place, as the stands available on the market require little space. When setting up a stand, it is important that the total work surface offers sufficient freedom of movement. When measuring the surface, the length of the materials must also be taken into account. The standard stand consists of a steel-wood construction. The frame is made of steel as it is particularly suitable for working with machines. The vibrations generated by drilling or sawing the machine require a robust frame. This is coated with a weatherproof alloy so that DIY work can also be carried out out outdoors. The feet are rubber caps which are placed on the steel base to protect the floor. Hard steel on concrete or tiles would damage the floor. In the middle there is a wooden plate for storage. This allows additional working material to be stored close by and facilitates the individual work steps. The upper worktop can be pulled out and is suitable for different machine sizes. Bulto’s universal machine stand provides hobby craftsmen with a solid product.

The “Universal work table UWT 3000” from Holzstar is suitable for bandpushers and cut-off saws. The steel construction stands on four steel legs with rubber feet, which guarantee a high slip resistance. Machinery with a support width of up to 2400 mm will find a secure footing on it. This machine stand is equipped with a power cable that conducts power to the sockets on the worktable. This means that every machine and its accessories are supplied with power directly at the table. The stand height is infinitely adjustable between 850 and 1000 mm. The maximum load is 225 kg.

If the machine stand is also needed elsewhere, then a mobile underframe is just right. The steel stand is constructed like a wheelbarrow. There are two handles on one side and two wheels on the opposite side. At the top is a frame for table circular saws for sizes up to 710 x 540 mm. The stand is foldable and space-saving for transport in station wagons or minibuses. Carpenters who want or have to carry out woodwork on site at the customer’s are no longer dependent on a free stand space at the customer’s for their circular saw. The stand height is determined by a crank mechanism and can be infinitely adjusted. The feet under the handles are equipped with a rubber attachment so that the floor is not damaged. The tires are made of plastic, a pneumatic tire is unsuitable for this high load. There are accessories for the machine stands, such as clamps and grids, to fasten machines so that they do not “wander” during a work process. If it is a static stand, it should ideally be equipped with drawers or storage compartments to store materials close to the work stand. If only little space is available, foldable machine stands are suitable, which can be suspended from the wall with a hook system depending on the construction.

Further good machine stands with fixing devices for workpieces are available from Bosch and Mannesmann. Both are large tool manufacturers and are often used by DIY enthusiasts. Important aspects are both the quality and the safety offered by the products of both manufacturers.
