2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Accessory for a Good Product, February 8, 2009

This review is from: Rockwell Jawhorse RK9204 Work Table Accessory Attachment (Tools & Home Improvement)

First, let me say that I REALLY like the JawHorse. It's a great addition for a one-man shop. That said, I was a bit disappointed in this accessory. It is OK, and will be fine for most painting, sanding, scraping type work, but it's really not up to the standard of the JawHorse, and I would not call it "heavy-duty". It seems to be built more to the standard of a workmate-type product.

The table is only 1/2" thick, giving it a pretty light duty feel. The guide tubes are a little on the loose side, so that the two halves of the work table can (and do) move out of alignment when you bring them together. The misalignment isn't terrible, probably about 1/16", but it would be a problem if you need a truly flat surface. Not sure how they came up with the maximum opening of 22" mentioned in the product description. The maximum opening between the halves is only 5". There is a maximum clamping capacity of about 15" if you install the clamp dogs in their outermost positions, but there is no way to clamp anything larger than this unless you remove the guide tubes. Removing the guide tubes is NOT recommended in the manual, and I believe removing them would cause problems in clamping and, potentially, damage to the tool. The clamping dogs are plastic. I believe they would withstand pretty high pressure, but not the full clamping force the JawHorse is capable of. This is a bit of a concern since the design of the JawHorse makes it very easy to apply a LOT of pressure.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from this product, March 26, 2010

I purchased this Item on Amazon.com and have never been so disappointed in a tool. The painted protractor rubbled off with in the first hour of use.

When I used it to clamp a piece of 6" wide wood the movable leaf lifted over the stationary leaf and popped my piece right out of the jaws.

No matter how I tried to use more or less pressure it would lift the piece and would not lay flat.

Rockwell should be ashamed of themselves for advertising this as it does.

Regards

Lou

5.0 out of 5 stars I was hesitant about purchasing this item, January 11, 2010

I was hesitant about purchasing this item after reading the one review at the time that gave it only TWO STARS.

In my opinion the quality is great.

Yes you could purchase your own lumber, angle iron, pipe, screws and bolts from Lowes or Home Depot and build one but unless
you are a contractor and have special connections you will be paying more than the $54
I paid for this. But then again, it could be like the old "Electronic Heathkits" of years ago.
You get the enjoyment and satisfaction of putting it together.
(I built an oscillosope decades ago)

Note that the thickness of the board is made up of THREE layers sandwiched or glued together.
The outer two layers are constructed of strips of bamboo about 5/8 inch wide.
Within each strip you see the yearly growth ring of the bamboo.
The thickness of the three layer board is 0.631 inches (measured with calipers)

When closed, the table measures 24" by 14"
When fully opened, the table measures 24" by 18-3/4"

The lower right area of the work table has a 3-1/8" hole with a stencil showing
hand drill with drill bit. Note that this hole for the drill is NOT shown
in the current picture supplied by amazon.com

Another hole 1-1/4" is located on the other board. It has what appears to be a metal collar inserted into it.
Could be used to hold a one inch pipe upright I guess.

A caution stenciled on the table top states "Maxium load 220 lbs (100 kg)
I would purchase again.
