    After three days in my the shop, the flat top would be so stacked with stuff, I could never flip it over!

    It is a cool project though. I could put my SB Desktop on one side and my large format 3d printer/laser engraver on the other.

    Does look neat...but the reality for me is that it is way too short for machining comfortably. I don't want to have to bend over to change a bit.

    It looks like a fast clean up! Wonder what it would take to make one for a full-size bot?

    You could raise the pivot point in a modified design very easily.
    If the platform were built as a torsion box your rotating top would be stiff as could be also.
    A couple slide bolts to secure it. Turn it over to GC and he would make the slide bolts air powered!

    Reminds me of the old Sears bench for table top tools.
