I'm looking for feedback, opinions and experience-
I have occasion to want to take a piece of equipment outside due to dust or whatever and a portable table seems like it would be very useful. I do have a couple of cheap folding plastic sawhorses from Harbor Freight and in conjunction with a piece of plywood that makes a pretty cheap table. I've set up my belt sander on this table before, it just doesn't have all of the little clamping gizmos. I could probably design and build a folding wood table that would do the trick and there might even be plans online for this sort of thing, but with Christmas nearly here this is something I could put on my wish list.
The first of these work tables was probably the Black and Decker workmate, still available in one or more variations. Somewhat recently I stumbled on ads for the Pegasus by Worx which seems more interesting than the B&D. I'm wondering how well they actually work and are they strong enough to hold a small piece of equipment such as a tabletop drill press or belt sander.
