Good morning,
I am finally planning to set up my workshop properly. For that, I first need a large workbench. I have just under 3 meters (about 2.9 meters (9.5 feet)) available, since otherwise a double power outlet would be partially blocked.
I have already found a few manufacturers like Kreher, Krüpper, Rau, Stier... but some are quite expensive, and of course, I have no experience regarding their quality.
For example, a Stier 2500 x 600 x 860 mm (98 x 24 x 34 inches) series workbench with two cabinets, each 700 mm (28 inches) wide, costs around 1200 euros.
What kind of workbench do you have in your workshop?

Gartenfreund20 Dec 2019 07:43Decades ago, I welded something like this together with my father using U-profiles. I can’t recall the exact dimensions from memory, but they were probably around 80-100 mm (3-4 inches) wide with a leg length of about 50 mm (2 inches). The vise was also mounted on this frame. This way, you can bend thicker metal without the workbench itself bending.
I quickly checked one recommended by Google, and 2 meters (6.5 feet) of such a profile costs about €36. In other words, you can build a sturdy workbench yourself for just a few hundred euros.
