Centipede work system

It won't level on uneven terrain. I looked at the centipede, but am happy so far with my Toughbuilt C700 sawhorses. 2x4's on the top and down the sides with a 2x6 down the middle if desired, makes for a decent portable cut table for up to 4x10 material.

I have had one, the 4' x 8' size, for a few months. As the previous poster said, it won't level on uneven ground. I use it in my garage on a flat floor, so that's not a problem for me. It is very sturdy and comes with a few hold down clamps. I ordered more. I use it to cut down 4x8 sheets with my TS 75 tracksaw and it works great for that. I put the 4x8 sheet on a sheet of styrofoam insulation, which does help with flatness and prevents the saw from cutting the plastic caps on the Centipede legs. It is also great as an assembly table.
It is easy to set up and carry, and to collapse back down when you are done. The blue bag I got with mine doesn't provide a lot of protection. It is very thin, and if you slide it on concrete with the Centipede inside it, it will wear quickly.
It suits my needs well. I don't know how well it would work on a job site. I guess it would depend on if there is a flat surface to be able to cut sheets of plywood. You could put stuff on it without the flat surface, but you would have to determine if it would work for you. Take a look at some of the videos on their website, if you haven't done so already.
