heise+ | Machine Space Management: Build Your Own Adapter Plate System
Robotics1 min read
This is a preview of a heise+ article from the German magazine Make. It shows how a home workshop owner can build a simple board system so that machines can move easily between workbenches.
What the article is about
The author has a workshop in a double garage. Over the years, so many tools, machines and jigs have piled up that it became hard to work there. The author explains a plan: a wooden adapter board with a fixed pattern of holes. Each machine is screwed onto its own board. That board can be attached to any workbench in a few steps.
Where the idea came from
The idea first came from the author's former boss. It worked well in his company, so the author then used it in his own home workshop.
Why it matters
Many hobby workshops are small. A fixed spot for each machine wastes space. With this system, any machine can work at any bench. You can change the layout of your workshop whenever you need to, without much effort.
