Key Features
Serious load capacity Steel and aluminum construction supports up to 2,200 lbs per pair, so it is ready for sheet goods, doors, and bulky assemblies without getting wobbly. Clamp it, cut it Dual-mode clamping lets you hold work down on the top track or clamp vise-style from the ends, so you spend less time chasing material and more time making clean cuts. Adjustable and portable Six working heights and folding legs make it easy to set up for cutting, assembly, or ground-level support, then pack it away when the job is done.
Overview
The Kreg KWS500 Track Horse work support (Model Number: KWS500) is a portable, adjustable work support and clamping station for woodworking and DIY jobsite setups. This is a multi-use work support designed for cutting, clamping, and supporting large materials when you do not have a full-size bench available.
Where a basic sawhorse just holds weight, the Track Horse is built to control the work. The long top track lets you secure material down for cleaner cutting and safer handling, and it also accepts a sacrificial surface so you can cut through stock without chewing up the aluminum top or your blade.
Clamping is the big difference. With the included Kreg Bench Clamp featuring Automaxx, you can clamp in two ways: hold work down from above on the top track, or use the keyhole brackets on the ends for vise-style clamping. That makes it useful for everything from breaking down plywood to holding parts upright for sanding, routing, drilling, or pocket-hole assembly.
Strength and stability are handled by the steel and aluminum construction, rated at 2,200 lbs capacity per pair. Pairing matters here because most users run two work supports to create a full cutting platform, and this system is built with that real-world setup in mind.
The legs adjust to six working heights, so you can get the top where you want it for cutting sheet goods, staging long boards, or setting up as a lower work platform. When you are done, the legs fold completely away for compact storage and easier transport.
If you need more surface area, the design is expandable by pairing with another Track Horse, letting you build a larger support platform for track saw work, circular saw breakdown, or assembly tasks where you want a stable, repeatable setup.
This is a good fit for woodworkers, remodelers, and serious DIYers who want a work support that also clamps and adapts, especially if you regularly handle sheet goods or need a portable cutting station that sets up fast and stores small.
Break Down Sheet Goods With Control
Set up a stable cutting station anywhere and keep the panel from shifting mid-cut. The Track Horse is built to work like a support and a clamping center, not just a place to rest the material.
- Top track supports hold-down clamping to keep sheet goods from walking
- Expandable setup when you pair it with a second Track Horse for a bigger cutting platform
Build a Large, Flat Work Surface
Two supports turn into a practical jobsite work table fast. You get a solid base for assembly, layout, and staging parts without dedicating permanent floor space in the shop.
- Steel and aluminum construction with 2,200 lbs capacity per pair
- Folding legs for compact storage and easy transport
Clamp From the Top or the Ends
Clamping is what makes this more than a sawhorse. Lock parts down to the top, or use the end brackets when you need vise-style pressure.
- Includes a Kreg Bench Clamp with Automaxx for quick, consistent clamping pressure
- Keyhole brackets on the ends enable vise-style clamping

Pro Tip
When you are doing cut-through work, drop in a sacrificial surface and set both Track Horses to the same height before you lay down a full sheet. It keeps the panel flat, protects the top track, and makes your cuts more predictable.
