Do it Yourself: Re: [DIY] Traveling outlets

Re: [DIY] Traveling outlets

I have table-saws, thickness planers, band-saws, chop-saws and shapers that are for all intents and purposes in the center of one or the other of my shops two rooms, and may be moved around from time to time. The traveling outlet lets me move the outlets from end to end and side to side of the shop while keeping everything from under foot and not needing to reach to plug things in. I also have multiple outlets over my work benches along the walls but I've just flat run out of wall space. I also have a rolling, powered scissor lift bench 8' by 3' which has plugs at all four corners and I am also adding an air hose to the working side of the bench as well. I use the scissor lift all the time because I can raise or lower the top to minimize bending these tired old bones. It also works as an extension to both my stationary work bench and table saw.

Not so. You hang them above the workbench on rails supported by the bench itself. Then, they plug into a wall outlet.

You have to lay them on the floor where you can trip over them and they get in the way in a shop environment.
