    These are going to be a temporary measure but I can bolt them to the wall pretty easy if I move them to a different place in the unit.

    I was going to sit the router on a sheet if ply which I'll drill into the bench tops as well. I need this sheet for my vac bed, clamps will make me want to murder someone lol.

    Diagonal bracing hmmm, if they end up being used longer than I want I will consider it, but I would like to recover the benches for drill press and work areas and getting a cnc is only the start of the puzzle lol.

    My Titan drill press is not what you would call professional lol.
