DIY Mobile Workbench with Table Saw
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лис 2020
- Back in April 2020, I decided to build a new workbench with a built-in Dewalt DWE 7492 table saw (very similar to its predecessor, the Dewalt DWE 7491).
As I had no real plan in mind, I built it on the go! Here's what I came up with.
Two weeks of work, lots of issues and mistakes to deal with, but in the end, I definitely call this project a success!

I never new you could build a solid workbench out of Ply, including legs! I always use 2x3 for legs. Thanks for the tip.
Yup back for a third time! I wanted to build my bench 4 months ago, but lumber prices have not gone down yet. Your bench has at least $1000.00 worth of lumber into it at today's prices, LOL. But as I mentioned the last time, you are an inspiration to me, and I am about to build a large circular saw cross-cut jig with Pine boards I had leftover from a closet build I did recently. Thank you for being my inspiration!!.
Great table. and yours is the first one I've seen where the grip for undoing the riving knife is easily reachable. Something I'll keep in mind when I start building my table.
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Love the workbench! Thanks for sharing the video and pointing out the lessons learned. Very informative.
I love how this workbench looks and I'm sure it is very solid. The dogholes on the side along with the t-track, great idea, but I especially like the magnetic bar next to the saw for accessories. That is something small but very clever and I don't think I have seen that on any other workbench build. This is my second time watching this video because it is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for your kind words, you made my day!
Supremely over-engineered but able to withstand nuclear fallout. The amount of work and figuring out that went into this is amazing. Could have been easily done with toobafurs but the end result is something that will last longer than you do. Beautiful
Thanks! That's the downside of making stuff on the fly. It can take forever (like for this build), and it's usually not well thought. That's why I I don't glue anything, so that I can undo/redo easily during the process.
I'm not proud of how I build this workbench, but I'm very proud of how it turned out. I really love working on this thing!
Well done! I made mobile liftable workbench with Dewalt DW745 and DW735 today.
I must say, that is about the nicest shop table saw work bench I've every seen! Great job! If you don't mind, I'm using a couple of your ideas for the table/workbench in my shop. Just purchased a 15 amp 10 inch table saw that I can use in my shop and take to a job site as well. Thanks again for a great video!!!
Thank you! I do have a few ideas in mind to make it even better. Stay tuned!
WOW that's an amazing workbench. Great work, thanks for sharing!
Thank you too!
Many many compliments!!! Passion and pleasure for this big work !!!
Congrats !
Thanks for your kind words!
저도 이렇게 만들어 보고 싶어집니다. 2020년의 최고 작업대입니다. 불가능 할것 같은 작업실 환경을 땀과 아이디어로 해결했군요. 배경 음악도 그렇고 노력하는 모습이 너무 멋져서 박수 보냅니다. 짝짝짝~!
친절한 말씀 감사합니다!
Dude, that's a thing of beauty, given me a few idea's for my tablesaw
Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
The threaded inserts to fine tune the height of the saw is brilliant. Stealing that idea
Thanks! Happy to help 👍
I love it too! But one concern, How works this after some time of usage, you don’t have flexion on you MDF?
A 5/32” (4mm for me, lol) metal plate under the MDF stand would eliminate this risk or is unnecessary?
Thank you!
Ich bin Sprachlos, das ist ein Traum. Danke das du das mit uns geteilt hast
Danke vielmals. Gern geschehen!
great job i'm glade to see you work through all the little issues shit happens, seems to be the story of my life. thanks for the vid
TY! I spend more time fixing my mess than building stuff but in the end, it's really satisfying!
Wow. Learned so much just watching this. Thanks 🙏🏻
love the idea of leveling block
what a timing! I want to build a workbench the next days so this fits perfect. Awesome work! :)
Thanks man!
@@HODYODesign are you thinking of uploading your your next steps of your house renovation? By far the best renovation videos I've seen :)
Yes, next year, once I'm done with the renovation. It's just too much work for me to remodel, shoot and edit videos all together. Stay tune!
@@HODYODesign awesome! Looking forward to it :)
Great job! Awesome workbench! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautyful man..
Enjoy your works.... Thanks
WoW, that's a hell of a workbench, it's a wonder you've got any wood left, lol, Very well done and made. Xx
Thank you very much!
Well done. Amazing skills and techniques. Great job
Thank you very much!
What a thing of beauty!
I can't believe how many layers this thing has!
My word !!! Truly a thing of beauty ❤️ I’m guessing it’s not light 🤣
Thanks! It's not light, but it's still manageable. And I will be able to undo/redo it, should I move my shop in the future.
The amount of screws you used is insane.... makes me think i got a long way to go. Hahaha i still keep running out of screws. This is a brilliant design and i learned some things from this video. I appreciate it. ^_^
Thanks!
Lots of screws, yes, lots of scrap wood, and lots of work too!
Hola! 🖐This is the very first video of yours that I get to watch. This is a very impressive build but I wondered the same as many questioned in the comments below, "why the ply and OSB"? I completely understand by reading your responses. I'm a few short weeks away from building my very own (first edition) work bench and there are definitely some good tips here with your method of building. I think that the leveling feet you made is genius, I'll have to steal that from you, I mean borrow.😂 I'm moving over to watch your shop build video and see what I can learn from it. I currently have a completely emptied two car garage that will, over the course of time, become my workshop. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👍
Beautiful bench, at the beginning I'm saying to myself that is so flimsy, and then layer and layer of armour was fitted, I really like the side mounted t track. Quality work
Thank you! I leveled it up until it was unbreakable, like in a RPG game :-)
Really very nice job done. Congrats.
뚝딱 뚝딱 잘도 만드시네요 당신의 손은 마법사 입니다...
감사합니다!😊
I would have mounted the casters two to a 3' board that pivots at the center point of it. Sort of a suspension system for the whole thing, where each two casters self level between themselves to whatever the floor is doing. That way the center casters (lengthwise) are always at 50% of the load, and solidly on the floor.
Hola.. acabo de comprar una DEWALT 7492. Haré ésta mesa porque es increíble..hermosa y fuerte.. gracias.. felicitaciones desde Argentina.
Pretty good. Lots of details
just built mine last week. frame made from 3 by2 inch timber. and used 4x4inch for legs. 8 legs in total. as its 4.2m long and 1.4m wide and 90cm height. 18mm ply for the surface. cost me 70 pounds in total. as ive got loads of scrap wood and loads of screws . im a labourer so....... ;) junk is gold. and my workbench proved this.
ive even fitted a plunge router on the underside so i can do picture frame rebates or cut circles. ive seen a million n one videos on the saw workbench and some are really anal and far to particular. all that matters is the dimensions and the surface is flat. make sure u leave enougn room underneath to collect sawdust by hooking a good vac to the dust port.
GREAT JOB DUDE:::: SIMPLE.....EASY....and SO PERFECT!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!! 1+SUBSCRIBER
Thanks!
Cutting of a 4×8 sheet will be very easy with that workbench such a great project
Thank you! It should be definitely much easier to cut a full sized sheet with this workbench, but full sheets don't fit in my car, so I still use the cutting services of my local big box stores to break them down to more manageable sizes!
@@HODYODesign thanks for sharing your idea ill try that design back home once i have a table saw...sometimes you will need to have a full sheet in the future at least your main equipment is ready on action
Superbe. Prochaine étape, un ragreage du sol 👌🏻
Trop de boulot, plusieurs regards et chambres de visite dans l'atelier qu'il faudrait rehausser avant. Beaucoup plus simple, rapide et économique d'utiliser des cales en OSB, ou de fabriquer des pieds réglables 🙂
Parabéns! Ficou espetacular.
Muito obrigado!
I want it for my table saw!
This is the toughest table saw workbench I'd ever seen.
What a meticulous personality you have!
Thank you so much!🙂
Wow that is bloody amazing
Thanks Dave! Stay safe!
WOW just WOW...
Very good. I want one
i used OSB for my bench tops because of the same. It took a lot of finish to seal smooth and level the top.
I buy OSB 3 panels from Norbord exclusively here in Belgium. No added formaldehyde and already smooth finished!
Thank you for this video,
She is wunderfoll,
and the foods 👍
Very nice ideas in Datails. Thanks for the Inspiration.
You're welcome!
Nice build!
Nice work!
Parabéns ótima bancada!!!
muito obrigado.
Looks good and the router table on the right site you can build when you get the time :)
You read in my mind! Problem is that the router table will be in the way when I cut long boards. I will have to be creative!
@@HODYODesign Look forward to see it
What a beast! You must have a good budget for screws, I lost count
Ah Ah, yeah, I must admit I lost count too, and I had to refill after it was done!
Superbe ! Je dois définitivement m’en inspirer et me faire une table d’assemblage en y incorporant ma DW745.
Merci ! Bon courage pour votre table d'assemblage !
Nice bench 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome build. Subscribed 👍
Thanks for the sub!
17:43 like those custom height adjustable 'casters.'
Perfect !
Thanks!
great work there!
Thank you! Cheers!
Not sure where you live but here in the states right now that is about $1000 worth of plywood! Although it looks great, I would need to use less plywood. I am glad it worked out so well for you and will take a few ideas for when my time comes to build one! Cheers!
I live in Belgium and the 2 sheets of plywood I used in this project cost me 70€. More detailed costs here: hodyo.com/how-i-made-my-new-mobile-workbench-with-built-in-dewalt-table-saw/
Nice work! Also like the t-nut profile on the fence e.g. for feather boards or just an overall better and higher fence :) I have the same saw but did not integrate it into the workbench. 🙋🏻♀️Anna
Thank you Anna!
Compleanno bellissimo video è bellissimo banco 👍
Fantastic 👍🏻
Vraiment classe l osb good job👍
Prachtig gemaakt top
I'm a new viewer, and a new subscriber, and I love this build!!!! I would have to modify it a bit to accommodate my Metabo table saw, but that should be easy enough. My heart was broken when you covered that veneered plywood with OSB. BTW, the link you posted for IG is not working.
Welcome aboard and thank you! Broken IG link fixed! As for the OSB, there are a few reasons why I use it heavily in the workshop:
a. I love the look, but it's just me. b It's much cheaper than plywood. c. Dents, scratches or holes in plywood catch the eyes immediately, but not in the OSB.
You genius, you!
Beautiful work, especially improvising! I don't have that kind of success with plans! Too bad about your floor, but you seem to have adapted. I'd would, however, like to know how you replaced the fence!
TY! I just added a 30-120 aluminum extrusion profile (European size, mm) to the existing fence.
Great video... May I ask what kind of finish you applied to the top? How many coats, and how well you think it's protecting the surface? Cheers
Thanks! I use hardwax oil for finishing the top, one single coat. Once the top surface looks tired, I sand it with 120 grit, and I re-apply a new coat. As a result, I have a brand new top twice a year, and it takes me only 15 to 20 minutes each time!
I like your saw fence, did you make a video on that… showing how to attach it? Very nice bench, like saw levelers too.
I didn't make a video about the fence yet, but it's in my to-do list. Just been quite busy lately...
Superbe vidéo beau travail
Merci !
Beautiful work, as always! Q: where does the above-table dust hose go? And the cyclone beneath the table - takes dust and chips from the rear dust port of the table saw?
TY! Actually the top hose goes into the cyclone and is connected to a shop vac that turns on as soon as I turn the table saw on. The rear port of the saw is connected to a 4" pipe that goes to the dust collector (started with a cheap $20 remote control). Great setup, although I don't use the top dust collection that much for now as it is often in the way when you cut materials. I plan to eventually build a floating blade guard to fix this inconvenience.
Currently restoring two 1953 delta unisaw’s. While your work ethic and drive should be first complimented. I personally can’t see spending this much on material and time for a sub par saw. That being said some people would say the same about my project. I’ll be welding a mobile base to hold each saw. Good job and thank you for the project; no disrespect meant in my comment.
No worries! I was tempted to buy a European table saw ($$$) at the beginning of the year, but then I realized that it would be probably much smarter for my needs to simply upgrade my DW745 with a new DW7492, and with the money saved, buy a jointer/planer combo (as I didn't have any). That's exactly what I did, and I don't regret it!
With my TS55 plunge saw, I can make super clean cuts if I need to, so with my current set of tools, I'm all set ( at least for now)!
I can really appreciate the idea of leveling the table saw the way you have. Are you adjusting the height just by hand turning the carriage bolts? If so, have you found it stays at the correct height even after use?
Yes, I simply adjust them by hand, and it seems to be pretty stable.
Superbe travail, fonctionnel et sobre. Il y a une chose sur ta 7491 qui m'a grandement interpellé, le profilé de la buté latéral que tu as rajouté, d'où proviens t'il ? et comment as-tu procedé pour la fixation de celui-ci ? Du coup tu as perdu le petit curseur sur la règle de la machine pour le coup non ? En tout cas, merci de ton partage ;)
Merci ! Le profilé que j'ai rajouté est un 30x120 trouvé sur le site Motedis (plus d'infos sur hodyo.com) fixé à travers le guide de coupe à l'aide de 2 boulons en T et deux écrous papillons. Il fait 30mm d'épaisseur et j'ai simplement décalé la règle de 30mm vers la gauche en perçant un nouveau trou pour ses vis de fixation. Il me reste 800mm de largeur de coupe, largement suffisant pour mes besoins.
thats a really nice build, 10,000 screws later. And only 2 words for you : floor leveler...............lol enjoy
Thanks man! Screws costed me more than wood!😁😀
Come and make me one? Louisville, KY!! All the beer you can drink?
:-)
When your hands grow out of the right place :)
Хороший стол 👍🏻💪🏻
Спасибо!
Excellent design, construction and video. Thank you very much. Would you consider selling plans for it?
Thank you very much as well!
I build almost everything I do on the go. I never make plans, so technically, I can't sell what I don't have, sorry.
nice work...
Thank you!
Hello, that is an incredible workbench. Congrats on a great build. Do you know how heavy it is?
Thank you! I would say somewhere around 100kg or 220 lbs, saw not included. It's actually more now that I added a bunch of drawers.
I will need a new outfeed table in a new workshop, and this would be perfect. I would love to replicate your work, but I'm not sure I know enough to do it. If you have developed any plans, please share. Really great work! Love it.
Just watch thé vidéo a few trimes and make some mistakes while building yours, that's how you learn!
@@HODYODesign :-) Just finished another view!
Diu fa che travaiun Aldoooo!!!!
Nice bench, just a question but if u were starting over would u use 2 by 4's or other heavier wood when building the frame ????
Thanks! I would stick to plywood, as it's a much more versatile/stable/ready to use material than 2x's for this type of build, even though it's more expensive and more time consuming. But I would make a plan first 😁
I would have because otherwise I wouldn't have the patience.
Is that just some 80/20 extruded aluminum to extend your table saw fence? Was it easy drilling through the existing fence to attach it?
Beautiful table btw
TY! 80/20, more precisely 30/130 (mm- you won't find those in the US). Very easy to drill, although I'm not proud of the way I made the holes!
what an amazing bench. What did you use to treat the top of the bench
Thanks! I used hard wax OLI-Natura oil, it's cheaper than OSMO (my goto finishing product).
One single coat, and once in a while, I send the top and recoat it.
Great job, great video and bench.. but I'm mystified why you covered up all the solid lumber with osb??
TY! I love OSB, just personal taste.
Good job. Just curious why you didn't use dimensional lumber instead of plywood?
Plywood and OSB are very stable materials, plus they are widely available here in Brussels, at a very reasonable price. Unlike lumber.
Question: why did you build out of (expensive) multi layered ply, then cover it over with osb?
I am about to build a table saw base unit and several smaller units that will lock together when needed. I will be using 2x4 wood, glued togdther and laminated, then covering the outer with ply of some sort.
Nevertheless, a great project with some great ideas others can follow.
2 weeks build. Wow..
Great work...
Ply was not as expensive as it is now back in 2020, and I would never build a workbench out of soft wood anyway, as my goal was to achieve a top as flat as possible. Pine is cheap (or used to be), but it wraps, expands and contracts way too much to do anything good overtime. OSB is just personal preference. It looks great in Europe but it is terrible in the US. Not sure why, but it is what it is...
I have to ask, how much was the cost for this build? I can only imagine it wasn't cheap. Very nice workbench and something I wouldn't mind building myself.
Thanks! All details on my website: hodyo.com/how-i-made-my-new-mobile-workbench-with-built-in-dewalt-table-saw/
J'aimerai bien la même !
Bravo, beau travail. Elle a l'air bien pratique 👍
Merci Sylvie. Elle est clairement plus pratique que la 745, mais elle a aussi ses défauts, notamment son guide de coupe de moins bonne qualité que celui de la désormais regrettée 745. Voilé sur les deux modèles que j'ai pu tester, dont le mien !!
Hi Eric first of all congratulations for the channel, since in the video you used an aluminum bar in addition to the fence of the table saw, could you explain to me why? I also own a dewalt 7492 ... And I have encountered a 90 degree accuracy problem, also you same problem? How did you fix it ?
Hi Luigi, yes, the DW7492 fence is garbage and is not square to the table! I checked out two different saws from two different stores,, same problem, the fence is slightly twisted. No big deal if you cut 3/4 thick material, but not so good for ripping tall stock. That why I added this 30x120L profile. I shimmed it using painter's tape! I was planning to add this profile anyway, as you get way better cuts with it, so no big deal for me.
@@HODYODesign thanks for your explanation. How did you fix it? Have you an link for the your alluminium profile? O a similar one...
however, to be precise, I also tried several dewalt table ( n. 2 dw745 and n. 2 dw7492), all the same defects, where less, where more. in reality, even the top of the bench is not perfectly ground, also for this reason the guide is not at 90 degrees on the square.
Sorry for my late reply! Google "Motedis Profile 30x120L I-Type Slot 6", that is my provider and they deliver all around Europe as well as in the US.
@@HODYODesign thanks
guess we know where to go when a tornado or hurricane comes... :)
I think I know what I want my bench to look like now. How is the stability with it being a plywood frame instead of 2x ?
Can you give me an idea for a material list?
This workbench doesn't move at all and is super stable! One key component in this build is the level feet! They improve the stability by a lot on any uneven floor, and more importantly, they gives you a 99.99% flat top.
Go check out my website, there are more details over there, plus a list of the materials I used.

This is beautiful! What would you estimate was the total cost of materials?
TY! All details here: hodyo.com/how-i-made-my-new-mobile-workbench-with-built-in-dewalt-table-saw/
Xcellent! :-)

Super sturdy. Not sure how much wood have you used? Well done.
TY! The list of the materials I used here: hodyo.com/how-i-made-my-new-mobile-workbench-with-built-in-dewalt-table-saw/
Now that it's been a bit, would you change/improve anything on this current design in a v2.0?
Version 1.1 has a lot of drawers already (check it out my IG) and v2.0 will have a built-in router table.
Thank you for the video! How did you attach that aluminum extrusion to your fence?
I drilled a couple holes into the original fence and used T-bolt nuts and knobs to attach it.
@@HODYODesign Awesome! that is a great idea. I was looking for solutions to add feather boards. Thanks again.
Vidéos sympas, merci! Pourquoi ne pas avoir utilisé que de l'OSB pour la structure?
J'ai préféré partir sur du contre-plaqué pour le squelette essentiellement parce qu'il est structurellement un peu plus rigide que l'OSB. La différence n'est pas énorme ceci dit.
@@HODYODesign Effectivement, je viens de lire, le CTP est 7% plus rigide :)
