Would this work for a light duty workbench in a garage?

Very light duty. I can't imagine it withstanding a whole lot of weight or pressure (like leaning on to it while working). Also, it would be pretty loud, as the surface vibrates and pops up and down, making a loud metallic drum like sound. We've used it as an outdoor bar and serving station when we entertain in the summer; otherwise it's a counter next to the grill.

Not for construction work.. I just use it around the house for light duties, it just doesnt have enough power, and the drill bit falls out sometimes. I guess thats why its fairly inexpensive.

I have ours inside the garage, but would imagine it would be fine outside if you were able to anchor it down. It has scew holes for anchoring.

Absolutely. Y should read directions about weight amounts with and without wheels. I have several of these in my garage that function in multiple capacities.

This is a great portable work bench and I'm sure it can manage a small belt/disc sander, but check the weight of your lathe to ensure it meets specs. I'm 190# and I stood on it and didn't feel uncomfortable.

Heavy duty? It`s not a full size heavy duty, bolt to a garage bench vise. You won`t be able to beat on it with a large hammer. It`s just a friction screw mount, as you can see. I bought it to be a third hand. I mount things in it so I have my 2 hands free to work on something.

I would say yes, as long as you're in hammer-drill mode and using proper masonry bits. I've drilled holes in my garage floors for mounting stud walls, as well as into brick with no issues. As long as it is not high-PSI concrete (like an airport runway or a specialty type of concrete), should not be a problem!

Yes,it will work on a garage. My husband and I are living in an addition built onto a camper and this works perfectly.

Sorry, purchased for my garage so not sure if it would function as you describe.

I would think so. The threshold sits on the floor in my utility room, but there is roughly a 3 inch drop to the garage floor on the other side.

I would think so. However, keep in mind this is a straight pulley system. It takes some muscle to hoist anything of weight.

It would 'work' but not optimally. A better choice for that type of wor would be a hammer drill.

I do think it's stable and sturdy enough for this kind of work. That said, I wonder how you are going to clasp the board to the surface, the vise being too weak and flimsy, per my review of the product. Somehow I doubt you can rely on the bench dogs and the vise.

No. If you put a board or some plywood underneath to hold a couple of cinder blocks you'll have a setup thats stable enough for some light planing but if you're going to do a lot of this you'll want to build a real workbench to support the work.

The work bench is very stable (weighs close to 150 pounds). Would not wobble at all on the legs to use a reloading press, but the back board and whatever tools you have on it would shake a little bit probably. If you have it against a wall this would probably be minimal.

Probably. It's plenty heavy enough to handle that load, I bought this to replace a switch for a convertable top.

I am using it in a small outdoor storage shed and it seems to work fine. My shed is 8x10 so you probably would need a larger unit.
