If the t stops hold it laterally but what holds it down?
I have one quick change replacement top plate for my IF press mount, and a series of quick change plates on the way, if I like it, many more will follow. Got one for my bench Grinder too, and for the trimmersthat's a poor video you can slip mounting hardware of all sorts in the T track system from stops and vises to hold down studs.
also gave this a thought
Then again I might just say **** it and bolt down a 1/2" slab of steel on the bench and D&T as needed
Damn, I'd say that's a pretty pic-worthy set up.It's not often that my bench is worthy of photos, but I did some cleaning this week thanks to some vacation time. I've added a few machines and recently an aluminum block and have drilled and tapped so I can swap out different attachments (super swage, trimmers, small vise MEC loaders) as needed.

Give me a week. I'll have it covered in so much shit, you won't be able to see the presses. LolDamn, I'd say that's a pretty pic-worthy set up.
My workspace is only about 4 feet long with only around 18" of depth so its normal state is cluttered to say the least. Constantly having to shuffle stuff around to get anything done.Give me a week. I'll have it covered in so much shit, you won't be able to see the presses. Lol
Harbor freight bench made from "genuine Chinese oak". Plugged the holes in the top, reinforced the back with MDF, tossed the useless lower shelf and replaced with 2x6's. Just added the cinder block shelves after seeing it on another post.
I've gotten many ideas from browsing this thread...thanks.

So I have a question on dimensions. Yes I know everything is relative, but has anyone worked off a restaurant style stainless steel table? I have access to a 48" x "36" table with a 4" backsplash for free, just need to order some legs. I'm currently working off a 96" x 24" (full size plywood sheet cut lengthwise and screwed together)
Better than mine at the present time! Love the action photo.
