Onward and Upward

It’s Autumn in Boulder, Colorado - and the leaves aren’t the only things changing.
At Dash-Board® Portable Workshop, we’ve pushed our quality and innovation to yet another level.
We are excited to introduce the new Rip Stop, Rip Gauge™, and Outrigger. Have a look at our website and YouTube to check them out.
We’ve also redesigned and improved two of our best-selling products: the Track Stars and Guide Rail Brackets.
Stay tuned for our soon-to-be-released “ShortCut™”: a smaller Dash-Board® with the same, unmatched quality and accuracy that is built in to our full-sized Basic Bench.
We’ve worked continuously this year to iterate every aspect of our parts, process, and presentation. The result is a smoother user experience and more versatility than ever.
We are always happy to hear from our customers, and we thank you for your support as we continue rejecting mediocrity in the industry.
The best of the season from our families to yours,
Rob, Michael, and Stephen

Guide rail brackets hinge your track saw rail to a fixed, repeatable 90-degree position on the bench, so you calibrate square once instead of re-checking it before every cut. Rigid, machined construction with no play is what lets the rail hold that reference through height changes and daily use, turning setup into a one-time task rather than a recurring chore.

An MFT is a Multi-Function Table built around a perforated 20mm hole grid and guided cutting, letting you crosscut, clamp, sand, rout, and assemble all on one portable surface. It's a strong fit if you do precision crosscuts and sheet goods work, though drift and rigidity issues in some designs are why many owners upgrade to sturdier aftermarket benches and brackets.

Track saw rail slip almost always comes down to dirty or worn grip strips, dusty or slick surfaces, or not enough downward pressure, and cleaning the strips plus clearing the workpiece solves most cases instantly. For repeatable, no-slip accuracy, clamps work but a fixed bench bracket system locks the rail in place for good.

Scribing transfers the wall's true contour onto a cabinet edge so it fits tight against uneven walls and floors, and a portable bench that levels on the spot gives you the stable reference needed to mark and cut that line accurately. Level the piece, scribe to the widest gap, trim with the work fully supported, then test and refine until the fit sits flush.

Solid workholding is the whole game with edge banding, and a rigid portable bench with the right clamping accessories lets you present a panel flat or vertical for clean, even application. Lock the panel down, apply the banding steadily, then trim flush once the bond sets for crisp, consistent edges every time.

Straight edge cutting tools like track saws, guide rails, and guide rail brackets give woodworkers a fixed reference so cuts stay true instead of drifting off line. A rigid bench, squared rail, and the right accessories (fences, flip stops, parallel guides) turn one accurate cut into consistent, repeatable results every time.
