Oil-hardened Masonite, (board)

[templar]

Hi, I'm planning to build a workbench in the garage. I'm considering using oil-hardened masonite as the working surface. I can only find oil-hardened board, is this the same thing? Also, how thick would you suggest? Byggmax has 3 mm Beijer has 6 mm. Planning to place an angle iron at the front edge.

Will have råspont underneath.

 

[falkn]

Yes, it is. How were you planning to attach it? I would probably use 6 mm.

Hello, I am going to build a workbench in the garage.

What will you do on the bench? Råspont is a bit weak, it will wobble, use something solid, for example, 28X120 decking with a 16 mm chipboard and then a masonite that you oil yourself or a board sheet. Then you have a stable and durable bench for all kinds of work.

I have added 3mm on a chipboard sheet (double).

I have oil-hardened masonite as a wear surface, but I'm considering adding stainless steel sheet on top.
I think it would be easier to keep clean and more enjoyable to work on then.

 

[templar]

Yes, it is. How are you planning to fasten it? I would've probably gone with 6 mm.

Ok, good to know.
Regarding the fastening, I
haven't
decided yet, do you have any suggestions?

What are you going to use the bench for? Raw paneling might be a bit flimsy, it will sway, use something solid instead, like 28x120 decking with a 16 mm chipboard and then a masonite that you oil yourself or a board sheet. Then you'll have a sturdy and durable bench for all sorts of work

Yes, various work, work with both car and motorcycle, the bench will be attached to the wall with 45x70 and diagonal braces out from the wall, so it will hang on the wall (concrete).
So the raw paneling will be free about 70x100 cm surface between the beams, do you really think it will sway?
Yes, maybe it will, have to reconsider
Was thinking of laying 20x95 tongue.

That vice which is indispensable in various contexts, how do you think a råspont will hold when you apply pressure?

That vise that is indispensable in various contexts, how do you think a plank will hold up when you apply force.

No, of course it has to be stable, I'm going to mount the vise somewhere along the edge, and there I have the 45x70 support which strengthens it, but I should probably do as you suggest, add a board as well, seems better plus the hardboard will have something smooth to rest against.

45X70 front edge ?? A vise needs much more for fastening, 45X145 minimum otherwise you'll twist off your intended regel
