## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come in a small box or does it come already assembled?**
A: The box is about the size of a small card table. It does not come completely assembled. You have to assemble the table top which encompasses the clamping mechanism. The instructions are virtually wortheless but it's not too hard to figure it out yourself. I'd recommend a second set of hands to assist in the assembly although it's really not necessary.

**Q: the belt drive on my 425 broke. I have another, but how do I install it?**
A: do not know how to replace belt.

**Q: I have a workmate 550, wm425 type 3 . can i get a replacement cog belt that moves both sides in together?**
A: The belt for the WM425 type 3 is part # 242821-01. The belt for your WM550 is currently unavailable.

**Q: what is the difference between the older workmate 550 and the newer wm425 ?**
A: Sorry,  I had an older WM 400 so no experience with the 550.   I like the work surface of the old 400 better than the 425, although the 425 surface is larger

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome workbenches (We have 3 now!  (x1 225 and x2 of the 425s)
*by C***Z on March 11, 2013*

These go together relatively quickly. We have used them on numerous projects, we have the 225, and x2 425's. They come in very hand and are extremely versatile. The rear board comes off or can be re-located to meet your needs, the feet fold under and there are shorter feet in each corner with then replace the folded feet. A small roll pin holds on the handles. As long as you don't need to remove them a simple hammer and the included plastic "wrench" is all you will need to assembly the tables. The edges (facing each other) are grooved). The idea is to help hold material. Another vertical groove is included to allow you to put in a round object and fit in the vertical groove (about 1/4" deep). With a couple quick lever release/catches this will fold flat. While this is mostly just stamped steel with some plastic guides and the ??bamboo?? top it’s a very nice quality work bench. One thing I will mention with this is the second 425 I purchased had a slightly chipped wood work surface on one of the 3 pieces. Not a big deal, but wanted to mention it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it, easy to assemble and fairly light.
*by K***Y on April 8, 2013*

I ordered mine from HD. It arrived in two days with no packaging problem. It took me less than 15 minutes to assemble. It took me longer to lightly grease the sliding and moving parts. I greased the plastic belt that is used to synchronize the cranking, the bottom of the front blocks, the vise screws threads, the hole of the vise screw so the pin would tap in easier, all the hinges and springs.It seems that a lot of people had problems putting the pins in. To put in the pin I greased the hole in the vise screw, greased the pin, squeezed one end of the pin, ran the pin in and out of the vise crank hole to loosen the hole. The trick is to turn the vise screw so the hole is pointing up, lightly grease the hole AND PUSH the vise screw towards you. (This is important cause if you don't then when you push and tap in the pin into the vise crank onto the vise screw the holes might not be aligned and go in.) Once you push the vise crank onto the vise screw, align the holes, push the pin into the vise crank and feel that it is seated(onto the groove) to the vise screw hole (make sure that the vise screw is still pushed towards you). Put your hand under the vise crank to hold it while you now lightly tap the pin with a small hammer. Use your hand to hold it up while you're tapping. Do the same to the other vise cranks.Step #7 says "Install the front vise jaw on top of the TOP BLOCKS". It should be "FRONT BLOCKS" not top blocks.You can use a ratchet instead of the included wrench to tighten the 6 screws to the blocks. It will be easier. Just tighten slowly. Do not over tighten the front blocks or it will not slide easily forward or backwards when you turn the crank. You might even break the plastic vise crank and/or belt while trying to turn it if you over tighten the screws to the front blocks which I think many people did after reading their reviews not knowing why their crank broke and blaming it on where it's made and the product.Lightly grease the vise screws, the bottom of the front block and the belt. Then turn BOTH cranks with BOTH hands several times fully back and forth to loosen it otherwise the belt might snap if one of the vise screw is too tight.When it's standing on its side while it is folded up, it doesn't seem to be too steady so what I did was I added 4 leveling rubber feet to the bottom. I drilled 4 holes, tapped it and screwed in leveling rubber feet. Now it doesn't tilt over, it doesn't mar or scratch the floor or damage the bottom of the workbench when standing up. I made my own one time tap screw since I didn't own any. I got a bolt with the same screw threading, used the workbench and clamp dogs to clamp on the bolt and used my rotory tool to slices 4 slots on the bolt. Then drilled a hole slightly smaller than the threading into the bottom of the workbench , used a ratchet and slowly tapped the hole to create the threading. (See the pictures that I added)The only issue I had was that the middle board was slightly warped other than that everything else was perfect. I called customer service and they said they will send me a complimentary replacement and should receive it in 7-10 business days.Hope this helps people who are having a hard time assembling it and issues with the boards.And for less than $100 what do you expect a tank?Loving this bench and their customer service.update..6/3/13 .... received the new bamboo clamp boards today. They sent me all three boards not just the warped one that I told them about. Great customer service. Still loving the workbench. So versatile.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product but a few issues with assembly
*by D***O on July 5, 2007*

My husband had had one of these years ago but had given it (well-used) to a friend when he'd moved and no longer had space for his workshop. We got married a few years ago and now had space, so he asked for it for Father's Day. We assembled it that night, but ran into a couple of things we consider design flaws, most notably, the attaching of the crank handles.The holes in the handles and the holes in the metal rods onto which they need to be attached just couldn't be made to line up correctly. You need to be able to force a spring steel rod through these two holes (compressing the steel while doing it is designed to make a nice tight connection) but since the fit is supposed to be so tight, there's no way to do it unless these two holes align perfectly. After a very frustrating half hour, we finally found some bolts and nuts that did the job.Other than this, and the fact that he felt it wasn't as rock-solid as the other one he had (20+ years ago), he was very impressed with the design, quality and versatility. And as far as the rock-solidness, he still feels it's a very sturdy and generally well-engineered item - in fact, they've actually improved it in a couple of ways since the earlier version.
