Bora Centipede 2 ft. L x 4 ft. W x 2.5 ft. H Folding Work Table Steel 1500 lb. capacity Gray/Yellow

I’ve been using this thing every weekend for about 7 months now, and I absolutely love it. It’s incredibly lightweight and easy to set up, which makes a huge difference when you’re constantly moving it around or setting up for different projects. Despite being light, it’s surprisingly sturdy and handles a good amount of weight without any issues. The versatility is what really stands out. You can use it for cutting, assembling, supporting sheet goods, or just as a general work surface. It adapts well to whatever you’re working on, which makes it a go-to tool in the shop or on-site. It also folds down compact, so storage and transport are easy. Perfect if you don’t have a ton of space or need something portable. Overall, super practical and reliable. If you’re doing regular projects or weekend work, this is definitely worth having.

Perfect for cutting down full sheets of plywood. Easy to use and set up. Well done, BORA!

I've only used this a few times since purchased but am very impressed and which I had discovered this sooner. I'm a lifelong home handyman and woodworker and have always had a small workshop. My newest work shop is larger than in the past but I still have space limitations. I also have several steps going into the shop so can't roll my large equipment (table and band saws) out to do larger projects. I found this Bora option and it's perfect for my use. It took a little practice to get it set up but when it's set, it's a solid as I need it to be. In the past, I was using a pair of saw horses but this is magnitudes better than that. I'm mainly using it the size sheet good and trim boards to size using a track saw. It's got the standard MFT dog hole spacing which I'm only just beginning to use. Has worked well with MFT style squares and triangles that I've tried so far. Even though the legs don't look very robust, after you get the top attached, it's a very solid set up. Using a combination of this table and some saw horses, it was solid enough for me to rip 12 ft long, 6/4 mahogany boards. I also use this on a flag stone surface so it's not exactly flat. I was worried after reading some reviews about that potentially affecting the stability. I've had to move mine around some to get the best fit but after I get it set right, there's no issues. I don't plan on using this for hand work such as planning or hand sawing, but do feel that the table would be rigid enough to support some side loading. If I try that, I'll update the review with the results. The MDF top seems solid and durable but time will tell. Also, probably an inexpensive way to try the MFT trend if that's an expensive rabbit hole you're considering. I really like the storage bag and how small it folds up. This was a great fit for my shop and hope to get a lot of use out of it. My only thought is that I may have been better off with the taller table. I'm 5'9" so this not too low, but when I use it with saw horses just seems lower than I would like.

It deploys easy and is sturdy. It’s a good solution but not perfect. A few gripes: -the bag is made the exact size with no extra room so it takes a few minutes to package it up perfectly so it’ll fit. Packing up in the factory is different than the field. -the tops rotating is a blessing and a curse. It’s good in that you can get things aligned easy, but it’s bad when you need stability when using the 2x4 holders. It helps to screw the wood across multiple holders so they then don’t rotate.

The Bora Centipede is one of those "Where have you been all my life?" products. I knew that I would be buying one (or more), and it doesn't disappoint. However, it took a great deal of deliberation to figure out WHAT to buy. I'm adding my thoughts to the huge number of (well-earned) positive reviews in the hope that they may be useful to you if your finger is twitching over the "Buy" button because the devil's in the details. I have several use cases for this, but highly portable assembly space and/or cutting surface and the need to break down sheet goods into more manageable pieces are at the top of the list. I'm fairly tall and like a taller work surface, but I ultimately opted for two of the 30" version without Bora's folding work surface. Here's how I got there. The Portamate can only be used at full extension, so a 2x4' one can only be 2x4'. While I needed a 4x8 space for my second use case, 2x4' seemed far more practical under more circumstances, so I bought two. The supplied lumber brackets let me tie them together into a single 4x8' "surface." Each one comes with 4 brackets, so if this is something you may want to do, buy another 4 brackets to provide better support in the center. With these, your own lumber and a sacrificial sheet of EPS, you have a "track saw station." I opted for the 30" stands because oddly, the 36" models are not available with bags. Yet. The stands come with a fair number of accessories and I wanted to corral everything in its own bag because this reduces the likelihood of my leaving something behind at a job site. Also, for the second use case, 30" is plenty of height. Bora does make height extenders, but I have passed on those (for now) because the reviews seem to indicate that they're fiddlesome. What I bought serves my needs very well. As many others have noted, this spindly looking contraption is a sturdy beast that deploys and recovers in seconds and disappears when not in use. The Centipede work stand is an absolute gem. So, why didn't I buy the work surfaces? This is NOT a review; I don't own the work surfaces and cannot speak to their quality or utility directly. These are just my thoughts. My reservation is primarily around shipping. The design seems sound; their ability to fold makes them take up half as much space when stored or stowed. But they're MDF. If the shipper drops the heavy box on a corner, the MDF gets chipped or broken. If they drop it on the wrong corner, the work surface may be unusable. I may buy them in the future, but only at a retail store or once I see reviews that indicate better protective packaging. More than likely, I'll make my own. The work surfaces are also available with dog holes or dog holes and T-track. Note that they're available with Imperial or Metric dog holes; reviewers who complained about the dog holes being too small bought the wrong one. The ones with T-track come with a hefty price tag, but if you don't need to make precision, repeatable cuts, the system is still a disruptively priced, highly mobile assembly space. Assembly space is baked into competitor systems such as the more expensive Kreg ACS and the wickedly more expensive Festool MFT, but those are better cut stations. Overall, while the work surfaces would complete my Centipedes, MDF is "chippy" and insanely heavy compared to Melamine laminated plywood. The fit and finish of Bora's products is generally very good, but in my view, their choice of material isn't great in this case.

Works very well and stores away in a small space. Perfect for my garage with limited space

One of the most useful inventions I’ve ever used for shop! First project is cabinet out of 4 x 8 sheet plywood, using the 4 x 6 Centipede and it handles the sheet & cutting. Easy to set up configure and breakdown. Especially useful if you’re do-it-yourself landlord, gives you easily transportable work space across multiple properties…we have a home in FL and NC and can easily move the centipede to both. Very happy with this item!

I rarely leave reviews, but this Centipede is impressive. It's so easy to set up in just a second. Surprisingly stable and holds a lot of weight. I use it daily. Oh, and while using it, I remembered I need to restock the fridge.

Portátil, si Fuerte y seguro, no

Fijn lekker compact en ligt in gewicht

I have had my eye on this for a couple of years but they were always sold out. Fairly light weight and supports 2 tons provided it is placed on a flat surface. It come with 4 clamps, 4 plank holders and a storage bag. Only down side is there is no instruction manual or list of accessories.

Al igual que el de 12 soportes, es una herramienta imprescindible para tener un banco de trabajo portatil

Handige tool als je even snel een grootte tafel nodig hebt. Snel opgebouwd en afgebroken en neemt weinig plaats in bij transport.
