SJÖBERGS of Sweden has been manufacturing top quality workbenches for over 80 years. Their entire product line of workbenches was designed to meet the needs of a modern day woodworker and to take advantage of the latest manufacturing techniques. The range of features is truly amazing and cannot be matched by any other manufacturer. Based upon the latest SJÖBERGS design, the Nordic Plus series gives you the size you need at a price you can afford. The bench top is constructed in hard Nordic Birch. The amazing versatility of vice location permits left or right handed use, clamping on both ends or dual clamping on the front. All of the wood in the bench is FSC certified which guarantees forestry renewal. The hard Nordic birch top is built to last for a lifetime of normal use. Supplied with four steel bench dogs with a plastic coating to protect your edge tools. There is a double row of 3/4" clamping holes working from each of the four vise locations, giving an endless opportunity to clamp your work! All three benches are 33-1/2" high, 19-5/8" wide, have a 1-1/8" top thickness at the center and a 2-3/4" thick skirt. Vises open 4-1/2". These benches are available with or without a storage cabinet.

    Comments about Sjobergs Nordic Plus 1450 Workbench :

    This is the smallest model worktable for the Sjobergs line but it fits my workspace room and needs. I felt a need to reinforce it with some metal bracing, wood cross-bracing and added glue-up. It will still need some external anchoring when power tools are used. However, in the garage, I can move it around and temporarily brace it to the floor or wall. The vises are conveniently located and hold the work without loosening. I'm still undecided about the fiber plastic bench dogs. The price was good and it arrived intact aside from some external gashes in the cardboard.

    Comments about Sjobergs Nordic Plus 1450 Workbench :

    Cant believe they woud take such a nice top and set it on cheap construction lumber. Cross brace split and wobbles like crazy. Bought it on sale and not to sure I got my moneys worth becuase of the stand. Would definatly build a new one if I keep it. So Im asking myself is the top itself worth [$]?

    Somewhat easy to assemble. There needs to be a description that there is defintely two leg styles and how they are to be assembled. Did not purchase the cabinets with the unit. I will use the bench for project construction and assembley.

    Comments about Sjobergs Nordic Plus 1450 Workbench :

    The bench was very easy to assemble and is very stable considering its lightweight. There is virtually no racking front to rear, slight racking side to side. When I added up the costs and time to build my own bench and buy vises and dogs, this alternative was much better. If you need a more stable surface for delicate hand plane or chisel work you probably need a heavier bench like Sjobergs elite series.
