Abstract
A workbench including provisions for cleaning of an object. The workbench includes an enclosure and a shelf that is slidable into and out of the enclosure. The shelf can support an object within the enclosure. A manifold and nozzles within the enclosure direct cleaning liquid or compressed gas at the object so as to clean it and collect the material removed from the object within the enclosure. The workbench includes a top suitable for dimensional gaging and inspection of the object.
