Wobbly cuts. Wasted materials. Hours lost to setup. Back pain from poor ergonomics. If these problems sound familiar, you need a better workshop table setup.

At Dash-Board Portable Workshop, we've spent over 10 years solving these exact issues. Founded by Rob Schumacher in Boulder, Colorado, after frustration with inferior portable workbenches, we've engineered a complete system that delivers stationary bench precision with true portability.

What Makes a Great Workshop Table Setup?

A workshop table setup is your workspace foundation—where cutting, assembling, and crafting happens.

The best setups provide:

• Rigid stability that doesn't flex during cuts
• Precision reference systems for repeatable accuracy
• Quick setup without tools
• Portability without sacrificing performance
• Ergonomic height adjustment to reduce physical strain

The 5 Problems Dash-Board Solves

1. Inaccurate Cuts Waste Materials

The Problem: Unstable surfaces and misaligned guide rails create inconsistent cuts, wasting expensive materials.

Our Solution: The Dash-Board Workbench ($1,699) is the most rigid portable bench available, featuring two integrated clamp tracks and a precise 20mm dog hole grid. Our Guide Rail Bracket Set ($359) locks your track saw in perfect 90-degree alignment with no recalibration needed.

Customer proof: "Repeatable cuts are a breeze, rips and cross cuts on full sheets couldn't have been easier. There was a definite increase in productivity." - Jeff R., Colorado

2. Physical Strain from Poor Ergonomics

The Problem: Bending over low sawhorses destroys your back and knees.

Our Solution: Both the Dash-Board Workbench (92.56" x 24.41") and ShortCut Workbench ($1,099) feature adjustable legs that lock at comfortable working heights with no tools. Track Stars ($299/set of 2) provide additional height-adjustable support for extended work surfaces.

3. Time Lost to Setup

The Problem: 20-30 minutes of setup before every work session kills productivity.

Our Solution: One-minute setup. Unfold, lock legs, start working. All accessories attach tool-free with metal knobs. The F2 Surface Mount Fence ($199) and F1 Fence ($139) mount instantly using our Fence Blocks.

4. Limited Space

The Problem: Not everyone has room for a permanent workbench.

Our Solution: The ShortCut Workbench is half the length of our standard bench but handles the same tasks—rips over 90", crosscuts over 48" with accessories. Both benches fold flat for wall storage.

Customer proof: "This allowed me to completely get rid of my table saw. My shop is very small... The dashboard system has provided me better and cleaner cuts." - Gabriel P., California

5. Dangerous Sheet Goods Processing

The Problem: Managing 4x8 plywood sheets on a table saw is dangerous and inaccurate.

Our Solution: The Outrigger Bundle ($1,099) extends your work surface with integrated rail hangers and supports full sheets during crosscuts and rips. Combined with Guide Rail Brackets, you process sheets safely while keeping materials fully supported.

The Dash-Board Difference

Revolutionary Gen 2 Design

We invented the replaceable cut strip for portable workbenches. Gen 2 features a 2-piece top where the cut strip flips over for reuse, then replaces affordably. You never damage your bench top.

Complete Ecosystem

The Rip Gauge ($139): Set exact dimensions without math. Swappable blade kerf tabs (1.8mm, 2.2mm, 2.4mm) replicate your saw blade—the dimension you set is exactly what you cut.

Parallel Guides ($139/set of 2): Anchor to tabletop holes, not your guide rail, for easy tool-free adjustments.

SpiRail Dogs ($49/set of 2): Work with Track Stars for crosscutting and ripping arrangements. Also function as material stops.

The Wingman ($59): Extends Track Stars or Guide Rail Brackets for full-sheet crosscuts and rips over 10 feet.

Real Results from Real Customers

Jeff R. (Professional): "After watching many of Rob's videos I was convinced the Dashboard bench and accessories was the way to go. The system exceeded my expectations... Dashboard is stellar. Their replies to my emails asking for help were quick and helpful. I have even gotten responses on the weekend."

Ricky M. (Former Panel Saw Owner): "I had to get rid of my 18' Striebig, vertical panel saw I had used for 20 years. The Dash-Board system has allowed me to make the same accurate cuts using a different system in a smaller area with more versatility."

Douglas P. (Professional Cabinetmaker): "An excellent upgrade to my MFT system. No more constant checking to confirm that the rail is square to my fence. As a professional cabinetmaker, being confident in my set-up speeds production, reduces waste and makes the whole process flow smoothly."
