BORA Centipede Improved with TrackTubes

With its unique design the Bora Centipede is a pretty good solution for creating a portable workbench. It is lightweight, compact, and deploys quickly. Perfect for most DIY projects, woodworkers, or folks working construction projects in the field.

Using the Bora Centipede in conjunction with TrackTubes makes it even better by adding rigidity to the workbench and raising the surface to a more comfortable work height. The TrackTubes Centipede Knob Kit allows for an easy connection between the Bora Centipede and TrackTubes. Once connected, you can easily attach a top like the Festool MFT style work surface using TrackDogs, Track Clamps, or 1/4-20 hex bolts and nuts.

Not sure how I missed these when you released them. Ordering a set now!

Oh, man, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of Track Tubes! I think you may have just landed on the perfect portable bench solution... a couple of MFT tops, some track tubes, a couple of horses, and BAM! Perfect lightweight, compact, portable setup!

Well done Boss, , , Another great Ideal from "Got it Made." What a great space-saving idea this is.👍👍👍

Couldn’t you just use the x-cups and essentially have the same setup as the sawhorse slots?

Great product and demonstration. Definitely purchasing one for my 4'X6' Bora Centipede with Workbench Table Top (The kind with the holes). Waiting for the Centipede Knob kit to come back in stock. In the meantime, i have a couple of questions/suggestions.

1.) The rails are sold in pairs. I guess, that works fine in most cases but not all cases. For example, my 4x6 Centipede has 3 legs one way and 4 the other way. The Workbench table top are 2'x4' in size and folds in the middle for easy storage. Today, when I put the Workbench table top, I unfold it and set it on the legs and it has support from the center legs so it stays put and holds weight well without bowing. If I want to do the same thing with the TrackTubes as they are sold (in pairs), I'd have no support in the center. So, I think it is a good idea to sell the tracks individually and let people buy how many ever they need. I request you to please consider my suggestion.

2.) The Attachment things Bora provides with the Workbench are not great. In the middle where you have two panels next to each other, you can only attach one of them to the centeped. AND, attaching them form the bottom is awkward. If the holes on the Bora Workbench Top properly lineup with the rails on the TrackTubes and I could use TrackDogs to secure the Bora Workbench Top to the TrackTubes, it will be AMAZING. Can you kindly confirm if the Holes on the Bora Work top lineup properly with the Track tubes track? Can I use TrackDogs to attach Bora Worktop to the Track tubes rails?

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank You 🙏

Good explanation of how Tracktubes work with the Bora Centipede!

What if the floor is not level? My shop floor is slightly slanted towards a drain. Could you develop a leveling device for the centipede?

This looks like a great, and innovative idea. It reminds me of the tracking used on my kayaks, and bass boats. It's unfortunate that they're having what seems to be a very difficult time keeping up on their inventory. Great idea if they can stay ahead of the supply chain craziness. I know I probably would've made a purchase today had they had it in stock. That said...I priced out what I assumed I would need to cut 4X8 pieces of plywood on the largest of the centipede products.... My total cost was going to be well in excess of OUCH! I'm going to have to use 2X4's on my centipede system in the meantime, to get through the project I'm working on. I'm wondering if that won't work against TrackTubes. If it turns out a couple of 2X4's, while most likely not AS good as TrackTubes....are good enough, then potential customers will have to do some soul searching to see if $400+ is truly worth it. Just sayin'...

[jfew]

Are these expected back in stock soon?

[davidcastellanos]

Hi there, are these compatible with the bora mft tops with dog holes?

[FyrFytr]

So your company does not sell the table tops?

[TheMadComputerScientist]

What size tracktubes did you use in this video?

[marinechapssemperfiout]

Would these track tubes work on the husky work table?

[heruvey]

Hello, ive been by chance do you know if the bora and the MFT have the same hole pattern?
