I want some sort of work support for: Miller Fallls, Langdon 74C Miter Box, band saw, drill press, general support of cabinets etc. under construction. I have a Lee Valley Outfeed Roller Stand and a couple other half decent roller stands, will these help? I have been thinking about building small tables/stands. I could make something to fit the bandsaw I buy and then make a stand for the Miter Box that would put it at the needed height. The drill press is a floor model so the table can be adjust height wise.
I was watching Bob Lang's video on building his 21'st century workbench and he uses two small table/benches, maybe 2-3' square. He puts boards between them to support his bench top, making sure his surface is flat so his top can be made flat. I am wondering if I need something sturdy like Bob's table/bench to support heavier longer loads. The folding work stands are nice but I'm not sure how they will do with long heavy work. I don't want to make separate work support systems for all the different tools that need work support.
