Review on Shop Fox D2056 Tool Table by John Souza

I have now bought two of these tables, one for my drill press and one for my drill press. I put them both on wheels as my shop is also my garage so everything has to be on wheels. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PZX2AC8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 these are the casters I bought and they fit great.) I've read a lot of reviews on this desk and almost never bought it from -for a feedback. I would now like to turn to some of these reviews to summarize my experience with this product. Many reviews have said this table is "flaky", "too big in footprint", and "cheap" among other things. thin" Is the table thin? When you open the box, the metal feels thin (not so thin that you're afraid to bend it before assembling, but thin in the sense that you wonder how you can actually put 700 pounds on the assembled stand) and the hardware feels a bit small (if you have big hands setting those screws can be a lesson in patience), but after I've installed all the corner and cross braces along with the top and everything secured, I tested it at my weight, 190 pounds, along with a few other tests of center of gravity and what it would take to tip it over, and when I was done I felt confident enough to give my $700 -putting pistons on top and also buying a second table for my workbench for 600€ bench drill "footprint too big"footprint too big? cops and you want the legs to extend to lower your center of gravity and ver prevent a tool you attach to the top from falling, especially if you plan to use casters. Of all the tables and coasters I own, these fox shop tables take up the least amount of space. Yes. After reading a review that the top was not a real chopping block but just a 'sticker', that finally made me pull the trigger on the first one I bought. The reason for this is that after reading this review I went back to the product description and realized that it was being marketed as "meatblock laminate countertop" and that's when I realized that a lot of the low star reviews (I'm referring to always look for the lowest rated reviews and read them when you decide to buy a product) to this point came from people who are not very smart and treated this product as if it were an expensive workbench ($44, right?) And not a cheap tool stand. I have found this product to sell accurately and meet all advertised specifications. Why are reviewers giving stars because it has laminate flooring? That's how it's sold! To sum up my review of this product, a tool stand (read the description again, if you're looking for a workbench look elsewhere) is perfect for a drill, planer, oscillator or table band saw. I wouldn't put a grinder on this stand as I don't think it's heavy enough to handle the vibration (I haven't tried it, just my guess). It is very easy to assemble as there is only one type and size of screws and you then screw the top to the stand with the screws provided. Here I had to downgrade the product to 4 instead of 5 stars. The screws for both stands had 1 and 2 screws each that had bits of metal in the head making it impossible to put anything in. I tried to escape but to no avail. I'm not complaining as I have a lot of screws so it didn't get in the way of my build. If you are looking for a heavy duty, durable workbench/tool rack for over $200 this isn't it, keep looking! If you're happy with a 20 pound tool rack (soaked) for your drill press or bench belt sander, give this table a try. You can't build a stand less than that on your own and it will certainly do what it's made to do, and to the highest degree. I will post photos soon.
