What is the difference between a planing bench and a workbench?

A workbench is specifically designed for precise woodwork and its clamping devices provide stability, which is essential for work such as planing and milling. It is the preferred choice for carpenters and joiners who value accuracy. In contrast, the workbench is more versatile and is suitable for a wide range of craft activities, from repairs to assembly. Its larger work surface and mobility make it ideal for general workshop work, so the choice depends on your specific requirements. Sjöbergs workbenches are aimed primarily at professional woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts who are looking for the best for their workshop.

From a small workshop to a global market leader: The story of Sjöbergs

Sjöbergs has a long history that began in 1922 when Axel Sjöberg started a carpentry workshop in his home in Sweden. Originally he produced furniture and wood products, including body parts for Ford. In 1932 Axel started producing workbenches, which laid the foundation for the current company. When he handed it over to his children in 1947, production was expanded. Today, Sjöbergs is the world leader in the field of workbenches, with a focus on quality and sustainability. All production takes place in Sweden, with 55% exported.
