This is an awesome invention! It has steel legs and can hold lots of weight! You also notice in the picture the many triangles it has in it's support structure, which makes it perfect! It's really convenient that it folds up, and it looks like it could be pretty small when it is all wrapped up. It would be really nice to be able to arrive at a work-site and have an extra surface to use. Why hasn't this been around earlier? My only concerning question is, what happens to the blade if you accidentally cut through a joint?
The portability and compactability of this product is so appealling. At my school we have to use two large tables and it takes two people per table to carry them outside. It takes so much time to cut one piece of wood this way. The Centipede Sawhorse sounds like a really easy thing to set up and use, but it looks like a structure that takes up a lot of space. It'd be interesting to test it out.
I'm not a huge fan. I was super excited at first but then after looking at the piece it didn't seem nearly as useful. For someone low on space who needs a very large table in multiple places this could be great. But for someone with a shop with different immovable stations, this would be no use at all. Its structure doesn't allow you to move in and around pieces you are working on making me think that traditional saw horses would be much more effective. For the price its probably going to me, this new idea of sawhorse will probably not be worth spending money on.
@Kate: The Polymer P-Tops are designed to avoid allowing your blade to come in contact with the steel frame in the event of a misguided cut.
@Sarah: That was one of our thoughts... I remember the giant trolleys of tables at school events and my wife still deals with them at her job at the public library. Banquets, potlucks, anywhere you need a large table space.
@Michael: Have you noticed the smaller 2' x 4' DIY Centipedes? That sounds a lot closer to something you'd be comfortable with.
