While we love all the flexibility, we’d prefer a singular wire grid in a future version of the Metaltech Scaffoldbench Miter Saw Workbench. The entire system stood around 9 feet tall. Since we had two kits, we opted for a configuration that gave us two additional side frames and an additional set of wire grids and braces for a second shelf. For our shop, we mounted them lower on the side frames and then placed the included wire shelf nearer to the top. Storage is similar except that you may mount the braces lower or higher depending upon your needs. Then you drop in the steel-reinforced platform.īecause the braces feature both locking stems and 45-degree braces, the platform stays very square regardless of your standing height. You then mount the braces midway (or higher) up the frames to provide the proper reach. In scaffold mode, you’re using both sets of side frames. From the side braces with well-built interlocking pins to the sturdy platform, the system feels robust. The integrity of the overall system impressed us. It also stands 6 feet tall with all of the ladders installed. With the Metaltech Scaffoldbench in scaffold mode, you get a system that can hold up to 1,100 pounds. We brought two of these in-house and tested them in most configurations. In the case of the Metaltech Scaffoldbench, we can run by each function individually to describe what you might expect. When you have a system like this covering so many bases, whether it performs each task well becomes the primary concern. With that height, the maximum support weight drops to 735 lbs. If you max out the system you can assemble an 18-ft tall Baker SafeClimb scaffold with top guardrail and outriggers for around $1,530. These include a top guardrail system ($128), basic 14″ outriggers ($109), 3-tier 46″ outriggers ($237), 6-foot Safeclimb Baker Style scaffold ($159), and material support rollers ($20 each). If that’s not enough, the system has some interesting options to expand functionality. You also get four mounting brackets and multiple accessories to secure just about any miter saw to the table. The locking pins not only lock the casters to the ladders, but they also pin the braces in place as well. Each box contains two upper and two lower ladders which stack, two side braces and two shelf braces, one platform (which doubles as a miter table), 11 wire grid shelf sections, four 5-inch casters, and 12 locking pins. Everything comes in a box, safely packaged and ready for assembly in whatever configuration you want.
