New "remodeled" work and test bench

Post by knightrider358 »

Hey guys, thought id post a couple pics of my test & work bench i redid last weekend.

I am almost done! Ill prob finish it up this weekend. I have 2 dedicated 20amp circuits along with 2 15amps just for the bench itself. Id say theres enough juice there. Now its not as nice as eric d's or maybe some of the rest of you all but hey its good enough for my minor work i do in my garage.

Lmk what you all think and if theres any pointers you can help me with.

Yeah I regret letting it go so cheap...there's been a few smaller ones selling on DIYMA for around the same price. But am glad it went to a PG member that will put it to good use. If your going to attach a battery to it make sure the PS is on first, if your going to turn the PS off then disconnect the battery FIRST, this is as simple as removing the fuse between the battery and power supply (perhaps the PS's fuses).

Ahhhh!!! Finally complete...except waiting on some bookshelf speakers i ordered. But here is it my fully working work/test bench! Has a APS 100amp dc power supply, 275amp battery, 2 blade fuse boxes (1 relay switched & 1 constant), ground terminal, and speakers terminals. I also have an alpine cda-9855 hu w ipod & 3way active w a precision power pc4200.2 rear bridged to 2 kicker comp 10's and the mids & highs will be to the set of bookshelfs ordered. It also has quick hook up spare leads for amps and the speaker terminals are setup for testing speakers too. Just need to get a digital volt meter, a smd amm1, amp clamp meter, and book shelfs in. This may not be the best professional setup but im stoked itll do everything i need!

Looks sweet. If your looking for a good dmm check out the tpi super scope 400. Funny name but a cheaper dmm with an osiliscope built in.

That's a bad ass work bench. Go into a local hospital and ask if they are replacing oscilloscopes and if they would be selling any for cheap. Also, for DMMs I only use Fluke. I'm sure their are better priced units but I don't have patience for the cheaper ones (they take longer to settle on a value).
A few of these and a few of those.
