The Vario-Bench multifunctional table system developed by sauter is a multifunctional workbench based on a well thought-out worktop with drill holes (20 mm diameter). With the intelligent hole grid of the MDF board, not only all applications, such as clamping, sanding or mounting of workpieces, can be carried out comfortably. The special highlight of the perforated board is the sawing to the exact degree at any desired angle, thanks to the bench hooks in combination with the guide rails from Festool or Makita.
