Traditional workbenches take up space and aren’t easy to move. The BORA Centipede Work Stand offers a smarter, portable solution. It is strong, compact, and ready in seconds.
Portable workbenches have changed a lot in recent years. The old model of a big, heavy bench anchored to the floor won’t work for every space or job site.
Today’s professionals and DIYers need flexibility. They need tools that are easy to store, easy to transport, and strong enough to handle tough tasks. The BORA Centipede Work Stand is quickly becoming the new standard in portable workstations.
So, what makes the Centipede stand out? And why are builders, renovators, and woodworkers choosing it over traditional benches?
Why Is the Centipede the Future of Portable Workbenches?
1. Portability
Most traditional workbenches are bulky, heavy, and fixed in place. Even collapsible benches can be awkward and time-consuming to set up.
The BORA Centipede Work Stand folds down into a lightweight, compact carry bag. It sets up in just seconds with no tools or hardware required.
Key portability features:
- Lightweight steel construction
- Foldable scissor-style legs
- Compact carry bag included with every stand
- Easy to store on a shelf, in a truck, or behind a door
You can take it anywhere. If portability matters, the Centipede portable workbench is the clear choice.
If portability matters, the Centipede portable workbench is an essential part of any smart DIY workshop setup.
2. Durability
A lightweight frame doesn’t mean you’re sacrificing strength. The Centipede is built to support series weight more than most folding tables, and in some cases, more than traditional benches.
Depending on the model, the Centipede can hold up to 6,000 pounds of evenly distributed weight.
Load capacity by model:
- CK6S (2ft x 4ft x 30in) up to 2,500lb
- CT6 (2ft x 4ft x 36in) up to 2,500lb
- CT9 (4ft x 8ft x 36in) up to 3,500lb
- CT10 (2ft x 8ft x 36in) up to 3,500lb
- CT12 (4ft x 6ft x 36in) up to 4,500lb
- CT15S (4ft x 8ft x30in) up to 6,000lb
- CT15 (4ft x 8ft x36in) up to 6,000lb
The strength comes from its smart design. Each leg absorbs and distributes weight across the entire frame. Add a sheet of plywood or MDF on top, and you’ve got a solid surface that won’t wobble or sag.
You get pro-level support in a frame that weighs less than a toolbox.
3. Flexibility and Customizable
One of the biggest advantages of the Centipede folding work stand is its adaptability. It’s not a one-size-fits-all tool. You can choose the size, the top surface, and the accessories that match your workflow.
Use it for:
- Cutting sheet goods
- Assembling cabinets or furniture
- Holding power tools like miter saws or routers
- Finishing projects like staining or sanding
Available accessories like X-Cups, Quick Clamps, and Stabilizing Struts give you extra control and stability when working on different materials.
Swap out tabletops depending on the task:
- Plywood for heavy-duty support
- MDF for smooth assembly and painting
- Foam insulation boards for cutting with track saws
Ultimately, the Centipede portable workbench can become whatever you need it to be.
4. Perfect for Small DIY Workshop Setups and Job Sites
If you work in a garage, basement, or mobile setup, space is tight. A fixed workbench takes up valuable room.
With the Centipede, you get a full-size workstation when you need it and space back when you don’t.
Why it works in tight spaces:
- Sets up only when needed
- Folds away neatly when not in use
- Works on uneven floors, gravel, grass, or concrete
- Lightweight enough to move around easily
It’s a favourite for contractors, DIYers, and makers who need flexibility. Whether you’re cutting lumber in the driveway or assembling projects indoors.
The Centipede gives you the surface you need without the additional bulk. It makes it ideal for any working space.
5. Built for Real-World Use
The Centipede is more than just a clever design. It’s built tough for the real world. Every component is made to handle daily wear and tear.
It’s designed by people who use tools, not just design them. It holds up through all kinds of jobs, indoors and out.
Built-in durability features:
- Heavy-duty steel tubing
- Non-slip polymer feet
- Replaceable rubber struts
- Compatible with a wide range of tops and clamps
The Centipede is more than portable. It’s practical, durable, and ready to go to work. It’s a tool you can rely on every day.
