Blum Tool Original Bench Horse

Blum Tool Original Bench Horse

Gary Blum developed his Bench Horse to fill the need for a portable workbench for use on jobsites where ordinary sawhorses are simply not adequate.

Though the bench is truly portable (it sets up in less than 15 seconds), its leg system is rock solid, and its torsion-box top assembly is stiffer than many stationary workbenches, as well as offering exceptional clamping capacity and versatility.

The top is made of 1/2"-thick Baltic Birch plywood using torsion-box construction principles for unparalleled stiffness and strength. Holes are bored every 6 inches around the perimeter of the top, allowing ordinary pipe clamps (which you supply) to be used in whatever configuration works best for the job at hand, permitting extraordinary clamping pressure with no worry of deflection.

It also features 2 rows of dog holes on each side that allows the included "vise block" on the pipe clamp head to clamp boards for planing or sanding between dogs as on a classic cabinetmakers bench.

The Bench Horse also works well with traditional bench holdfasts designed to work in 3/4" holes.

The base is made of tubular steel with adjustable levelers, featuring rotatable fittings for quick and easy setup or breakdown. With the legs folded up, it can be carried like a suitcase and easily transported or stored.

The Blum Original Bench Horse measures 18" by 48", stands 34-1/2" high and weighs 55 lbs. Two wooden bench dogs are included.
