"Hole-y" work surface, Batman!!! That's a lot of holes...for stuff to drop through. LOL (Thanks for posting that Marius)
In all seriousness...my mind has been formulating a next-generation bench top for my primary bench that would reflect more how I want to use it. While the primary grid would be a mirror of the Festool 96mm grid of 20mm holes, I still need to build in some accommodation for .75" holes so I can continue to use my beloved hold-downs. I'm not comfortable using them in the slightly larger 20mm holes because of the potential for the extra angle to damage/enlarge the holes prematurely. I'm thinking the same for the dedicated luthery bench I'm considering adding to my shop, too.
