While the popular Worx Pegasus Work Table is a great option for home DIYers, the most common complaint is clamping wood to the top. It just doesn’t work well. In this video I show you how to upgrade your Worx Pegasus by building a new table top that allows for proper clamping and makes this work table even more versatile.

Nice! Thanks for sharing, great idea. Here is another idea. I attached my Worx Pegasus to the garage wall using gate hinges and then built an adapter plate to mount a vise.
OUTSTANDING design and execution!!! One of THEE very best I've seen.
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Just follow your instruction and build one. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you found the video helpful
Thank you so much for this amazing idea. Just bought the worx bench and i noticed how difficult it was clamping anything down. Going to build this little jig!
Awesome! With this new top the Worx Pegasus has become my first option for working on a project.
Very nice vídeo, Won a inscription
Love this idea!
I'm glad you like it! It has made my Pegasus much better.
Very good work! Thanks for sharing
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Great idea! When the wings are up the surface is not flat anymore on my Pegasus. So your design could solve that problem as well.
I'm glad you found the video helpful. Yes, with the center 2x4 out, the surface is now flat because the new top sits above the middle bump on the Pegasus.
During the assembly phase, you mentioned you don't have clamps long enough to hold the three boards together. Couldn't you have used the clamps and dogs from the workbench itself to achieve that?
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, the clamps from the Pegasus are big enough to hold the three 2x6s together! What a great idea! Too bad I didn't think of it during assembly. Now others can use your idea - thanks for sharing.
@@upgradeyourhomediy another idea (little redneck ) if you have enough clamps that is - place one clamp with one end on edge of wooden board + place 2nd clamp on top end of 1st clamp and it's 2nd end on far side - effectivly using 2 clamps to straddle the boards
how can we upgrade the sidetables wx066
Really nice video; I was leaning toward the Ryobi speed bench over the Pegasus but I think you’ve swayed me.
Do you find yourself missing out on the ability to use the included clamps with your topper in place or is it not a big deal? Thanks again!
Before I built the top I only used the included clamps to clamp material to the top, I didn't use them in the provided slots. I find the clamps hard to get into the slots and set up that way they don't allow sheet goods to be clamped. I use clamps on the work table mostly for sheet goods. If I have a number of cuts on 2x lumber I am more likely to set up the miter saw since the cuts are more accurate and faster. The new Ryobi speed bench does look interesting but it also looks larger and might be harder to store depending on the space available. Hope that helps.
@@upgradeyourhomediy Much obliged for the detailed answer; it’s really helpful. I could even see routing some dovetail grooves into the top to use micro jig clamps for more versatility. Looks like this will be my Father’s Day present to myself this year.
Nice, I am really afraid about buying these Worx tables because seems fragile, I just have to make small wood boxes, wood swords e guitars, not sure it will be useful for what I need.
Since I upgraded the top as shown in this video, I use mine more than my other work table because it is quick to set up and it is sturdy for my projects. If you aren't trying to cut sheets of plywood and are working on smaller projects I think it is a good option.
I've had mine for over 5 years. It's one purchase I don't regret getting on a whim. I have put mine through tons of wear and tear, hasn't failed me. Also having those clamps kept in or under the table is so underrated, I have a habit of forgetting where I move other clamps during a project, but not those orange ones. Just my two cents, good luck!
You are adding more stress to something already not meant for heavy duty. If you want a stronger saw horse, take the geometry of the Pegasus and build a new portable one that you can attach to the Pegasus.
At 3:40: you are using extra clamps to hold the wood when you have 2 clamps with guides included with the table for a more secure work and safer. Now, you cannot use the clamps provided with the bench neither use the guides on the table, you cannot use the pockets, you cannot add another Pegasus.
It looks that YOU are the #1 problem with the Pegasus, not the table.
Also, at 4:50: don't you have a table where to put the circular saw? it was on the floor, unstable. Do you want to be at the "Idiots at work" videos?
