Key Features
Overview
The Kreg KWS500 Track Horse sawhorse is a portable multi-use work support built for woodworking, cutting tasks, clamping, and general shop or jobsite setup. This is a sawhorse designed for supporting material, creating a cutting station, and giving you a stable clamping platform wherever you need to work. Model Number: KWS500. If you need one stand that can handle sheet goods, long boards, and assembly work without becoming dead weight to move around, this is the point of this product.
What makes the Track Horse different from a basic sawhorse is how much jobsite function Kreg packed into it. The top track is set up for dual-mode clamping with the included Kreg 3 in. Bench Clamp featuring Automaxx, so you can hold work down from above or use the end keyhole brackets for vise-style clamping. That matters when you are trimming parts, sanding, routing, or making repeat cuts and do not want material walking around on you. The track also accepts a sacrificial surface, which is a smart feature if you are using a circular saw or track saw setup and want to cut through material without chewing up the stand itself.
Capacity is a real selling point here. The steel and aluminum construction gives the Kreg KWS500 Track Horse sawhorse a rated capacity of 1,100 lbs. each, or 2,200 lbs. as a pair. In plain terms, that means it is not just for light trim or hobby boards. It is built to carry sheet goods, solid lumber, and heavier project material with the kind of stability you need for accurate work. The aluminum track helps keep weight manageable, while the steel legs and base provide the stiffness and durability that matter when the load gets serious.
Kreg also got the portability side right. Adjustable legs offer six different working heights, so you can match the setup to the task instead of forcing your body to work at one fixed height. For cutting sheet goods, assembly, or support duty, that flexibility helps. The legs fold completely away when you are done, and the unit can also be used at ground level. That is useful when you need a lower platform for breaking down larger panels or when you are trying to keep a workpiece stable without lifting it too high.
For shop use, the expandable design is a big advantage. Pair this sawhorse with another Track Horse and you can build out a larger cutting platform or support table. Kreg also notes compatibility with the Mobile Project Center for even more setup options. That makes this a better fit for users who want one system that can grow as the project changes rather than buying separate stands for cutting, clamping, and assembly.
The Kreg KWS500 Track Horse sawhorse makes the most sense for woodworkers, remodelers, trim carpenters, and serious DIY users who regularly work with plywood, boards, and assemblies that need stable support. It is also a smart pickup for anyone building a flexible shop around portable gear instead of a permanent bench in every corner. If you just need the cheapest folding sawhorse, this is more tool than you need. If you want a work support that actually helps you cut, clamp, and build better, this one earns its spot.
Built for Cutting Full Sheets

If you break down plywood or other large panels, stable support matters as much as the saw. The Track Horse gives you a portable cutting station that keeps sheet goods supported while leaving room to work cleanly and safely.
- Rated at 2,200 lbs. per pair for handling large, heavy materials
- Expandable by pairing with another Track Horse for a larger cutting platform
Clamp Work Without Fighting It

A basic sawhorse supports material. This one helps secure it. Between the top track, end brackets, and included Bench Clamp, you can hold parts down or clamp from the ends depending on the job.
- Includes a Kreg Bench Clamp featuring Automaxx for quick clamping
- Supports dual-mode clamping for hold-down and vise-style setups
Adjust Height, Then Fold It Away

The adjustable leg setup gives you flexibility for different tasks, and the folding design keeps storage simple. That is a big deal for smaller shops, garages, and mobile work setups where space disappears fast.
- Adjustable to six different working heights
- Collapsible design folds compactly for transport and storage

Pro Tip
If you are using the Kreg KWS500 Track Horse sawhorse for plywood breakdown, add a sacrificial top and run a pair of Track Horses. You get better sheet support, cleaner cuts, and you do not have to worry about nicking the stand with the saw blade.

Tool Nut’s Take
Why the Kreg KWS500 Track Horse Sawhorse Earns Floor Space
This is the kind of work support that does a lot more than hold lumber, and that is exactly why it stands out.
- Who it’s for: Woodworkers, remodelers, and serious DIY users who want one portable station for cutting, clamping, and general support work.
- Why it stands out: The integrated track, included Automaxx Bench Clamp, six height settings, and expandable platform design give it more real job value than a basic folding sawhorse.
- Worth knowing: Capacity is 2,200 lbs. as a pair, so if you want the full large-platform setup, plan on running two. For occasional light-duty jobs, this may be more station than you need, but for regular shop work it makes a lot of sense.
