Adjustable Levelling Feet
Has anyone come across this style of levelling foot in Aus?

I'm wanting to build an table saw outfeed table and they would be handy. It wouldn't be too hard to make some up I think but thought I'd search for one in-store but can;t find anything like it locally.

Just go to your local appliance parts store. Those feet are exceptionally common. You can get threaded inserts to put into the bottom of the outfeed table legs. You can then just screw the feet into the threaded inserts. I think that the ones that I last used were ¼ x 20 threads. If you can't find Imperial threaded inserts I can always post a few to you.

Not sure if these are the ones elanjacobs is referring to but they would work.

There is one other thing to be concerned about. Put a nut on the threaded shaft between the foot and holding bracket. After you have your outfeed table adjusted, tighten the nut against the bracket or bottom of the leg. This will keep the adjustment in alignment.

That's a good idea. Kind of like a the theaded rod and nuts to tension thicknesser belts.

It took about 30mins, a bit of angle iron, some spray paint and a few threaded feet from Bunnings. Thanks for the links but I figured I’d have a go at this. They should work fine for what I’m wanting.
