The design has been enhanced\nto incorporate the advantages that the Benchcrafted Tail Vise and Glide Leg Vise provide. \nIt's a sophisticated set of plans that take the guesswork out of building the workbench of\nyour dreams. The measured drawings and detailed construction notes will enable you to successfully\nbuild the bench and install the vises so that they work perfectly.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   The plans consist of four 20\" x 30\" printed pages of measured drawings that show the bench in \nall the necessary views including exploded, with specific details describing each part. \nConcise yet extremely detailed, the drawings are printed on 20-lb. bond paper and shipped rolled \nin a cardboard tube. Full construction notes can be downloaded below\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   The completed bench measures 87\" long x 35\" tall, with a benchtop that is 24\" wide x 4\" thick. \nIt typically weighs well over 300 lbs. depending upon the species of wood you select to build it.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   The plans can be purchased here by themselves, or you may purchase our\n   \u003ca data-prev-url=\"\/benchcrafted-split-top-roubo-bench-makers-package.aspx\" href=\"\/products\/benchcrafted-split-top-roubo-bench-makers-package\"\u003e\n    Benchmaker's Package\n   \u003c\/a\u003e\n   which\nincludes all the vises and necessary assembly hardware in addition to the plans (everything you need except the wood).\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch5\u003e\n   Important Note - Crisscross Design Change\n  \u003c\/h5\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   In February 2025, Benchcrafted released a new version of the Crisscross Solo and Retro.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   The length of the Crisscross arms (the two main parts of the mechanism) were shortened by\n 1-1\/2\". This allows the Crisscross to be fit into a wider variety of workbench heights and\n allows for a greater variety of vise installation positions without affecting performance. The\n mortise for the V2 Crisscross arm is now 18\" long, the previous version being 19-1\/2\" long.\n All other aspects of the Crisscross Solo and Retro remain unchanged.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   Updated instructions and addenda for older plans\/instructions can be downloaded below or\n on the Benchcrafted website.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ca name=\"moreinfo\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"background:#D6CBB5; padding:2px 4px; font-size:13.33px;\"\u003e\n   Additional Information\n  \u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   \u003ca data-prev-url=\"\/library\/manuals\/benchcrafted\/Split-Top-Roubo_Notes-BC1014.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/info.highlandwoodworking.com\/library\/manuals\/benchcrafted\/Split-Top-Roubo_Notes-BC1014.pdf\"\u003e\n    Benchcrafted Split Top Roubo Contruction Notes\n   \u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   \u003ca data-prev-url=\"\/library\/manuals\/benchcrafted\/2025_STR_Construction_Notes.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/info.highlandwoodworking.com\/library\/manuals\/benchcrafted\/2025_STR_Construction_Notes.pdf\"\u003e\n    Benchcrafted Split Top Roubo Contruction Notes 2025\n   \u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   \u003ca data-prev-url=\"\/library\/manuals\/benchcrafted\/STR_Plans_V2_Crissross_Addendum.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/info.highlandwoodworking.com\/library\/manuals\/benchcrafted\/STR_Plans_V2_Crissross_Addendum.pdf\"\u003e\n    Benchcrafted Split Top Roubo Workbench Crisscross Addendum 2025\n   \u003c\/a\u003e\n   .\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Benchcrafted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50821863440666,"sku":"204726","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/5167\/3370\/files\/204726d.jpg?v=1768341772","url":"https:\/\/www.highlandwoodworking.com\/products\/benchcrafted-split-top-roubo-bench-plan","provider":"Highland Woodworking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
