andrew-in-austin Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I recently saw a video for this: ..and it looked like that could come in very handy at times. Could work nicely as a in-feed table for multiple tools. Also to load/unload from a truck bed. I don't think I'll consider the Felder one, as it's around $1300, but I wonder if a lower cost lift table could be adapted with a wooden top with dog holes for not too much money. Looks like both HF and Northern Tool have some tables that could be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandorLush Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Home depot has a single crank height adjusting table for $199 right now. Top is 1-1/8"x24"x62" and the height is 32"-43" http://thd.co/2avUFzu Only negative is it looks like an in store only thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew-in-austin Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 The home depot one is an interesting option. I wonder how sturdy any of these tables are. Ideally you would want one that would not rock, rack, or bend under load. I would not expect the sturdiness of a classic workbench, but hopefully something close.

wdwerker Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 24 x 47 Northern version that's hydraulic ( foot pumped ) 1500 lb capacity is $1079 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandorLush Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 At the price, I've been eying it almost exclusively for the height adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 The HD one says it has a capacity of 300 lbs. but it looks like something a groomer would use for small dogs. It may be beefer in person? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew-in-austin Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 This one seemed pretty nice: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200631995_200631995 20x40, 2200 lbs, $509 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works awesome and very much a part of my future plans. 7 minutes ago, K Cooper said: The HD one says it has a capacity of 300 lbs. but it looks like something a groomer would use for small dogs. It may be beefer in person? Yeah, with a 300 lb limit, I don't expect much and I also misread the OP and thought Andrew was thinking of modding the HF work bench, not the hydraulic lift table.

wtnhighlander Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 HF workbench, some casters, and a scissor jack might be just the ticket. Heck, I recently purchased a 20-ton hydraulic "house jack" from HF for about $35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
