For the WB 2100 Profi model, the top is factory-oiled (food-compatible wood oil).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended oil for workbench tops: specific wood oils resistant to moisture and stains (e.g., boiled linseed oil, dura oil, specific bench oils). Oiling should be repeated every 6-12 months depending on the intensity of use. Alternatively, for intensive professional use, transparent polyurethane varnishes can be applied, which offer greater mechanical resistance but alter the natural appearance of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAre the 4 (short) bench dogs sufficient?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor standard use, yes. 4 (short) allow for clamping typical workpieces (lengths up to the limit of the bench). For very specific pieces or work requiring multiple clamping positions, additional dogs are available in the Bernardo accessories catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBench dogs are inserted into the Ø 19 mm holes in the top and are locked by the pressure of the vises. To optimize clamping, the following are available: short dogs (for thin pieces), long dogs (for tall pieces), special dogs with iron jaws (for metal pieces), quick-release lever dogs (for frequent workpiece changes). All dogs are compatible with the standard Ø 19 mm holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I also use the workbench for metalworking?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but with caution. The workbench is designed for woodworking: for use with metal (e.g., filing, manual sawing of light profiles) it is manageable, but for work that generates sparks (welding) or requires a lot of force (drilling heavy metals), the wooden top can be damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor mixed wood + metal working, a dedicated area on the bench with a sacrificial metal top (steel sheet) above the wooden top is recommended to protect it. For exclusively metalworking, consider mechanic's benches with a dedicated steel top. For blacksmiths with mixed needs, consider special configurations with a metal top inserted into the wooden bench (custom fabrication).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the working height adjustable?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe working height of 845 mm is fixed, sized for average height operators (170-180 cm) standing.
