A great tool, although I own a WM-400, not a 425, but I will guess them to be pretty comparable.  Any real woodworker knows that besides him/herself, the workbench is the 1st and most important tool in the shop.  In my case, I don't have a proper shop and do most of my work in the driveway, so the WorkMate is the heart of my project work, and it is about the best solution I can imagine for those who have very little storage space, practically no work space, and are forced to routinely set up and take down the work center -- I should know, as I'm an architect and skilled builder.
