Bora PortaMate tools give builders, remodelers and home woodworkers supports for their material, guides for saw cuts and mobile bases for shop equipment. Choose by the job you need to improve. Getting the work supported and the saw guided makes a cutting setup worth taking time over.
BORA Tool was founded in 2006. It designs products for professionals and DIY users. Its range grew from a clamp edge into workstands, cutting guides and accessories.
Speedhorse XT and Workhorse XT supports
The Adjustable Speedhorse XT gives you a working height of 30–36 inches. Choose that adjustment when getting the material to a comfortable height matters. Set the height for the task, then check that the support sits firmly before loading it.
Its manufacturer-stated capacity is 1,800 pounds per unit. Keep that figure tied to the Adjustable Speedhorse XT, and follow the specific model’s loading instructions when planning your setup.
For long boards or a worktop, a pair gives you separated support points. The span between them still matters: a thin top can sag between strong supports. Support the top for the load it has to carry.
BORA also offers Workhorse XT. Compare the particular models for working height, capacity and how you’ll carry and store them. Use each model’s own specifications when choosing the support for your work.
A portable work surface and a guided cut
For a portable place to work and a saw guide from the same brand, BORA offers Centipede portable workstations alongside NGX and WTX clamp-edge saw guides.
The NGX family includes a 100-inch clamp edge in a 50+50 configuration, plus the Saw Plate RT. Start with the longest cut you need to make and the saw you’ll actually use. Check the fit among your saw, plate and guide, and allow room for the saw to enter and finish the cut.
Accurate cuts start with supported material and a securely positioned guide. Support the material and offcut, keep the blade path clear of the supports, and account for the distance between the guide edge and the blade. A test cut is worth the scrap. Measure that cut before cutting the finished piece.
For moving shop equipment, match a BORA mobile base to the machine’s footprint and weight, then check the travel route for tight turns and floor transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you use Bora PortaMate tools?
Bora PortaMate is a tool range, so setup depends on which tool you’re using. With a clamp-edge saw guide, account for the distance between the guide and the blade before securing the guide. Support your material with the blade path clear, then make a test cut in scrap of the same thickness. Check that cut for size and square before cutting your finished piece.
