I am also going to build a bench, so I have been writing down ideas for the ultimate bench.
Emphasis on building in things that will be needed regularly, i.e. located to avoid instrument and cable clutter and enhance convenience.
My electronics bench will be in a small room that will also be used for some woodworking and other projects.
Just ideas:
Bench SawDust Cover: rolltop?
Equip Cab with Doors and filtered ventilation, i.e. positive pressure.
Outlets:
Isolated AC-variable, GFCI - orange or red
AC Mains 120V GFCI - white
Ground Isolated mains - Green ( wired with 12AWG or fused for 10A. excess grnd float protection)
12V DC/banana
5V DC USB Female, banana
BNC 10 MHz rubidium GPSDO clock sine wave
Ethernet Port
GPIB in/out
RS232 in/out
USB hub and in/outlets
Audio Input Jacks: 50 ohm, 100K ohm.
Speaker 1W 16 ohms.
Built in 1W 16 ohm Speaker/s for instrument level audio: Impedance matching, attenuator, amplifier if neccessary.
Power Switch
Fuse Box
Magnifier
Lighting:
Under shelf
Swing
Gooseneck LED
Equip Shelf:
2 O-scopes
1 Prog Supply
1 DC Supply
1 Arb Funct Gen
2 Bench Multimeters
1 Electronic load
1 TBD
Keyboard platform
Display/s?
Footrest
Three sides lipped
Front side with catch tray
Solder station higher bench height
DUT station lower bench height
Solder Station"
Solder spools
Tools
Iron
Ir detector switch for blower
low flow vaccum port
Desolder gun holder
Fume Extraction piping
Venting piping
Articulating Vaccum Arm
Blower/Filter: pre,hepa,charcoal
Optional exhaust port to outside
Optional Intake port
Shelf under bench
Cabinet for vaccum arm.
Shelves and cabinets for assundries
Cubbies for assundries
Grounded metal tab for grounding strap
