Workbench Choice

[trogre]

I have been given an ultimation to choose a workbench by Xmas!!!
I am not a busy diy person but like to have a tool to do job when needed.
I have narrowed it down to 2:-

Wolfcraft Master Cut 1000 or Draper Expert magnum 1000.

Each has its good points & bad.The Wolfcraft does look a bit flimsy but bearing in mind I may only use the facility for attaching power tools about 2-3 times a year it will not get constant rough use.
I like the idea of being able to attach 3 power tools so I can do a variety of jobs.

The Draper looks better quality and it does extend a long way for large bits of wood.May not use the angle bit for shaving bottom of doors etc but it seems to have plenty of jig clamps for holding bits of wood for assembly which does seem good. You cannot attach a power tool but can rig power tools up.Not sure but it does look like the thickness of wood that can be held ready for power tools is only thin ,13mm ??
Again it would not get a lot of use but does seem more versatile.
Any one out there got either one as it does seem 6 of one & half dozen of another.
Thank you

I use an MDF work surface on two home made saw horses built to a level for comfortable working. It also matches the height of my table saw so that I can use the bench top to help support cutting wide sheet materials. This flexibility allows you to move the work around to suit without having to hump a heavy bench and you can get it all right out the way easily if you need space. My thicknesser, jointer and morticer are all mounted on separate boards which have a cleats fixed to allow them to be held in a workmate vice. This versatility copes with most timber lengths. A bag of sand on the workmate step is sometimes required to avoid tipping.
