Using my veterans discount on Memorial Day I picked up the larger Centipede. Yesterday I gave it a try. It was great!

Previously attempting to find ways of getting off the ground to cut up sheets of plywood was a pain and took more effort then I liked. Cutting on ground level is not something my back likes so I've been looking at a better way. This is it, well for now anyway.

The following photos are I know sub standard but it was easier to use my phone and send the results at 10% then take the time to come in and move the full size images and resize them........ not happy with the results so next time is is back to the tired and true.

I'm working on the case for my rails but they are not ready for prime time yet. Cutting the plywood, full 4 x 8 sheets was the best experience I've ever had. Pulled the plywood out of the back of the van on to the "table" and cut away. I love it when a plan comes together.

For certain jobs the centipede is just my height but for other times it is a little low. Well they sell a solution for that:

This is enough for the smaller version and I got them mounted, and in use. This makes a big difference in comfort level.
