Our Review
The Bora Portamate Speedhorse XT delivers serious value for contractors and serious DIYers who need portable, reliable workholding. The paired sawhorses feature heavy-duty steel construction with a 1,000-lb combined weight capacity per pair, while the adjustable pedestal feed roller integrates seamlessly for ripping long stock without manual support fatigue. Setup is intuitive—the quick-lock leg design deploys in under 30 seconds, and the integrated tool tray keeps fasteners organized. The rubber feet grip concrete and plywood equally well, preventing creep during demanding cuts. Height adjusts from 32 to 38 inches, accommodating different user heights and task requirements. At this price point, the XT outperforms competitors by combining portability with genuine rigidity; there's minimal flex even under full load.
What We Like
- 1,000-lb combined capacity with minimal deflection under loaded ripping
- Adjustable roller support system eliminates hand-holding fatigue on long stock
- Tool tray and quick-deploy leg mechanism save setup time on job sites
- Height adjustability (32-38 inches) suits various user preferences and applications
Watch Out For
- Pedestal roller feels slightly loose on some units—may require periodic tightening
- Heavy enough to require two people for transport despite 'portable' branding
The Verdict
“The Speedhorse XT is a job-site workhorse that justifies its investment through durability, thoughtful ergonomics, and genuine utility for ripping and cross-cutting operations.”
