This 1 m uncapping bench is built to keep frame work orderly during extraction: cappings fall into the tank, honey drains towards the conical base and the honey house stays cleaner. The previous text could be misleading on compatibility: as supplied, it works on an internal support width of 48 cm, ideal for Langstroth and Dadant US frames; for Layens, Dadant Blatt or other formats, use a transverse support bar, not included.
The stainless-steel tank collects cappings and the honey still attached to them without covering the workbench. The conical base guides honey towards the lower outlet, while the perforated sieves hold back visible wax fragments for easier draining afterwards.
The bench is set up for 48 cm, a practical width for Langstroth and Dadant US frames. If you work with Layens, Dadant Blatt or other shorter frames, the bench height allows them to be handled; you simply need to add a straight transverse support bar from side to side so the frame has a bearing point. That support bar is not included.
The upper frame rest lets you hold the frame while cutting the cappings and work with both hands. The adjustable legs help set a comfortable working height, which matters when a long stack of supers is waiting and you do not want to finish the day bent over.
