Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BORA from 3G Electric.
What are the load capacities of BORA steel-top sawhorses?
BORA steel-top sawhorses are available with different load capacities. For example, the PM-3360 model has a 2,700 lb overall load capacity, while the PM-4500 and PM-4500T models have a 1,500 lb capacity. These ratings indicate the maximum weight the sawhorses can support when used as intended. The capacities are suitable for a range of woodworking and construction tasks, from supporting large panels to serving as a base for temporary workstations. When selecting a sawhorse, consider the weight of the materials and tools you plan to support to ensure you choose a model with an appropriate load rating.
Are BORA sawhorses adjustable in height?
Some BORA sawhorse models feature adjustable height, such as the PM-3360, which uses a push-button mechanism for height adjustment. Other models, like the PM-4500 and PM-4500T, have a fixed height. Adjustable models allow you to set the sawhorse to a comfortable working height or match the height of other supports. Fixed-height models offer simplicity and are ready to use out of the box. The choice depends on your specific needs; adjustable sawhorses provide flexibility, while fixed-height models are straightforward and robust.
What types of tools are compatible with BORA mobile bases?
BORA mobile bases are designed to accommodate a variety of workshop tools. For instance, the PM-2550 model is compatible with table saws, planers, band saws, and toolboxes up to 10 1/4 inches in size. The PM-3550 model supports similar tools up to 13 1/2 inches. These bases provide a stable platform and allow you to move heavy equipment easily around the workshop. Compatibility depends on the tool's base dimensions and weight. It is important to check the specifications of both the mobile base and your tool to ensure a proper fit and safe operation.
How does the BORA workbench caster kit (PM-950) function?
The BORA Workbench Caster Kit (PM-950) is a 14-inch mobile base accessory that converts a stationary workbench into a mobile unit. It allows you to reposition heavy equipment such as workbenches or table saws with ease. The kit includes casters that attach to the base of the workbench, enabling movement across the shop floor. This is particularly useful in workshops where space is limited and tools need to be moved frequently. The caster kit is designed for compatibility with various workbench designs, but it is advisable to verify the dimensions and weight capacity of your workbench before installation.
What are the key features of BORA sawhorses for portability?
BORA sawhorses are designed with portability in mind. Many models feature fold-up legs that allow the sawhorse to be collapsed for storage or transport. Some models, like the PM-4500 and PM-4500T, have quick-deploy and quick-collapse legs, as well as non-sequential leg folding, which simplifies setup and teardown. Additionally, pre-drilled end brackets on certain models enable the attachment of 2x4s to create a custom workstation. These features make BORA sawhorses suitable for job sites where equipment needs to be moved frequently or stored compactly.
Can BORA sawhorses be used to create a custom workstation?
Yes, several BORA sawhorse models include pre-drilled end brackets that allow you to attach 2x4s to build a sturdy workstation. This feature is available on models such as the PM-3360 and PM-3350. By inserting 2x4s into the brackets, you can create a larger work surface or a custom table for cutting, assembly, or other tasks. This flexibility is useful in dynamic work environments where temporary workstations are needed. The sawhorses themselves provide a stable base, and the added 2x4s extend the functionality. Always ensure that the sawhorses are on a level surface and that the load is evenly distributed.
