Abstract: The invention is a workbench consisting of a top working surface containing a rows and columns of holes that allow dust and chips to fall and be drawn through where they land in a plenum below the surface. The top surface and the plenum are supported by a rectangular frame that includes four legs and a shelf between the plenum and the bottom of the legs. The shelf supports a doorless cabinet that includes areas for storing tools and supplies. The plenum slopes to a point containing an off center aperture which is connected through an adapter to a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner has a bifurcated input manifold with gate valves which allows the user to select between applying the vacuum to the plenum or applying the vacuum to a hose containing a vacuum cleaning tool where waste not entering the surface apertures will be removed from the top work surface.
