The workbench is the focal point of any workshop, getting the right one is probably the most important decision you’ll make. If you’ve ever worked on an unstable surface with inadequate vices, you’ll know the importance of a good bench. Whatever bench you choose, it should be sturdy and of solid construction. It should have the ability to hold your work firmly in a variety of positions, be it in a vice or utilising bench holes and dogs. Lastly, it should have a large smooth work area. Our range of Axminster workbenches are made in a traditional style from European beech. Each one has a quality front and tail vice and 20mm dog holes, meaning you can utilise the Axminster Trade hold down clamps.
Flexible with great build quality This table, whilst being solid and stable, is easily moved and has the advantage of two vices. I’m well pleased and would recommend it to my friends.

Axminster DIY 1500 Workbench The perfect workbench for the DIY-er. To keep the cost down of this European made bench we give you the opportunity to finish it to your own standards. Built using the same quality European beech as the rest of the Axminster workbench range, there is some home assembly required. There are detailed assembly instructions included, as well as glue to fix joints and sandpaper to smooth the benchtop edges. In total, there are 22 dog holes, ensuring the best possible use of both vices for clamping workpieces and four bench dogs. A fun and rewarding afternoon’s work is all you need to have a fantastic workbench at a fraction of the cost. This workbench comes unfinished, we recommend you use Osmo Top Oil.

1700 Workbench with storage cupboard
Axminster 1500 Workbench Perfect for busy hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts. The tops of the Axminster 1500 and 1700 workbenches are kiln-dried beechwood, chosen for its toughness and resilience. The block laminated construction ensures the tops are stable and rigid, meaning when looked after they will remain flat throughout their working life. We’ve ensured they are lacquered on both the top and underside to give maximum protection. The bench tops are 30mm thick with 90mm deep aprons and include two vices. The vices have 360mm wide jaws opening to a maximum of 130mm. The bench tops include two double rows of bench dog holes, one from each vice. Used with the dog holes in the vice, they allow you to hold workpieces with a wide variation in size or shape; four bench dogs are included with each bench. Dog holes in the legs allow you to clamp items vertically. The underframe is solid beech. A full length shelf in the base offers storage for larger tools or materials. The benches come flat packed with full instructions for assembly. Both benches can be bought separately or with the Axminster Storage Cupboard.
