Four important tips when furnishing a textile craft room

Economically speaking, it’s also important that the room is equipped with strong, robust furniture that’s built to last. Here are our four top tips to help you make the right choices.

1. Choose the right material

Always use hardwearing bench tops made of high pressure laminate (HPL). We also recommend choosing furniture that’s generously dimensioned to withstand regular heavy use over a long time

2. Sewing machine lift

The Sjöbergs sewing machine table with built-in lift minimizes damage to the sewing machine. You also avoid heavy lifting and shifting, as you don’t have to move the machine to free up workspace.

3. Storage

Requirements in a school classroom change depending on the class size, new teachers with different demands, and so on. Furnishing with flexibility in mind ensures that the necessary adaptations are as quick and easy as possible. Sjöbergs storage cabinets are made from durable material and are built to last. Smart accessories are also available for our cutting tables, to help you keep things neat and tidy.

4. Ergonomics

A school classroom is a workplace for teachers and students alike. Therefore, be sure to consider ergonomics, which can vary when students are of different ages and heights. It’s better to choose vertically adjustable chairs than vertically adjustable tables.
They are also quick and easy for the students to adjust themselves. For teachers, 900 mm/35.5″ is a good, ergonomic work height.

Allow us to present our latest woodworking bench

Sjöbergs latest product is a beechwood bench with many bench dog holes.

Our ST11 holdfasts together with Sjöbergs Multifunction Bench 1060 allows for infinite possibilities. The bench is also fitted with front and rear vices. Together with our former export manager, our production manager developed the new model, whose name reflects the many possible ways of securing objects – Sjöbergs Multifunction Bench 1060.

Så väljer du rätt arbetsbänk till träslöjden
Sjöbergs Workbenches Tips

Så väljer du rätt arbetsbänk till träslöjden

Skivans tjocklek bör vara minst 55 mm när du köper bänk med baktångslåda.Detta är nödvändigt för att få en kraftig uppbyggnad av baktångslådan. Hyvelbänken ska vara tillverkad av hårda träslag som bok, ek eller ask. Använd skyddsbackar både i framtång och baktång. Det ger både längre livslängd och ett rejält grepp om arbetsstycket. Välj bänkstorlek efter verksamhet. Se till att det finns utrymme mellan bänkgrupper, skåp och maskiner. Det finns höj- och sänkbara stativ. Vid behov välj gasdämpare eller hydrauliksats för enklare höjdjustering. Smörjning och justering ska ske regelbundet. Det är viktigt för både bänkens funktion och garanti. Köp hyvelbänken av ett etablerat företag för att trygga tillgången av reservdelar och service. Kvalité är viktig vid en långsiktig investering. Bra tillbehör utökar bänkens funktioner. Naturligtvis handlar du MADE IN SWEDEN!
