Flip-Top Saw Workbench
A rolling workbench in three parts: a table saw platform set low so the saw's table lands flush, a flip box in the middle with the miter saw on one face and a flat worktop on the other, and a fixed top over shelves for organizer bins.

Plan$20, once
Change any size and Benchside redraws it, recounts the material and rebuilds the plan.
Built around your shop
- Your table saw's size and base-to-table height
- Your miter saw's footprint, table height and overall height, so it clears the base as it swings
- Bin shelves sized to your bins, deep and shallow rows
- Your work height and caster height
How it goes together
- Build the base frame, plywood it and put the six casters on.
- Build the table saw platform and the two pairs of flip posts.
- Glue up the flip box, bolt the bearings on, slide the tube through and lock the box to it with the rod flanges.
- Fit the latches and the tops either side, flush with the box.
- Build the right section and the bin shelves.
The plan has every step written against the part letters in its cut list, with drawings of each part that has joinery.
