How much bench top overhang is necessary to be able to work the foot lever?

The articulation of the foot lever doesn't move inwards, towards the bench. The foot lever moves up and down, vertically.

I am away from home so can't measure it for you but the short answer is very little. The table I have it mounted on is basically a thick board made out of 2x6s glued together. The legs are metal legs that screw on to brackets that mount on the underside of the table. Bottom line is that the legs are basically flush with the edge of the table mounted in the extreme corners. So very little overhang.

The height of the foot lever is adjustable. Only a few inches are needed between the back of the lever and any obstacle. Hope this helps.

The foot level gear projects 1/4" from the angle iron mount and works by a straight step down motion. For comfortable operations, the floor to bench top distance should be 36 inches.

I don't know the exact limit but I am 200 and change and it seems to be holding up pretty well. If you put a lot of weight on the foot stool ring it does have a tendency to start sliding down however. Adjusts fairly easily though

High enough to accommodate an arch support system from the top of the rails with a peak in the center about 15 inches above the top of the rails. Placed this on a Monark Sun Spa240 for reference

No I can bench the whole stack. I'm doing 45 reps with the entire stack now. I wish I bought a machine with more weight. I'm 5' 7" and 40 years old.

You could use standard plates you'd need at least a 7ft bar for this bench tho. The leg extension can use both standard and olympic size weights has a plastic sleeve that can be removed.A 6 ft bar would not leave you much room to increase weight on the bar.

The bench top will be flush with the top of the legs. To mount a vise on top you'll need another plywood top several inches larger to accommodate space for for it.

I would say almost one foot... but if you need one foot, the slope is so big that you might need a ladder stabilizer (the large u-shaped aluminum made "horn" that goes on the top). Good luck. Stefano

I have had no difficulty with raising it with the foot lever, however I am having difficulty lowering it.

Very easy. The switches you mention are actually more like hooks --- the end of the leg on that side of the bench ends in a horizontal bar that fits into the hooks. You adjust the height by unhooking the bar and moving it to a different set of hooks. (So, no tools, latches, knobs, etc. are required.)

My workbench height is 36", that puts the pedal at 10" above the floor. The pedal height is adjustable.

Two adults with a combined weight of about 220# is not a problem. I don't know what the max is but it is a very sturdy bench.

From the floor to the top of the Benchmate 1000 is 32 inches plus or minus 1/16th inch. Took me approx 30 to 45 minutes to pre-assemble final assemble once it was out of the box. Pre-assembly was just making sure all bolts threaded straight and true. Love it, very solid for a portable bench.

I think you'll be all right. the top extends further than the legs. Though I'm not at location of our bench to measure it I would say that the top extends at least 1.5 inches over the legs. It's a nice bench and a really good price. Very sturdy and works in lots of places.

I'm sorry, but i don't understand the question. Are you asking if you CAN? Or telling me you can? Can you please reask and reword your question? BTW i would NOT recommend this bench unless you are using it for very light exercising. It is very unsturdy when you begin to use heavy weights for exercising.

None apparent. It's a decent bench for the money, but it should be 6" longer. You have to sit right on the edge when you go to lie down on it, so your head doesn't go over the end, & I'm 5'10". I also added a 6" piece of angle iron to the frame to hold & support that edge, because of the way it was flexing when I sat on it. I knew the particle board or screws or both would fail prematurely. It's pretty solid now after the modification, but it's still a little short of course.

Not that high. You can step between the pedals so it's not to high at all. You just have to move the pedls to make it easier and that's not hard.

That is at the upper range due to limited foot room. Can handle up to 75 pounds.
