Woodworking Tips - one that's not bad
Hi forumites,
I subscribe to the (free) Woodworking tips (see [email protected]), and get regular emails on the topic. Mostly the tips are fairly mediocre, dressed up as average, but this one caught my eye for its simplicity and convenience:
An easier way to lock the legs of a folding roller stand I can't think of...

You're right - a great tip which falls into the "Why didn't I think of that?" category.

if they were any bloody good they would be giving you tips like "dont use folding roller stands, they make the workpiece travel off to the side if they arent positioned at exactly 90 degrees to the feed of the timber"

Hi Doug, That's why I have installed "ears" on the ends of the rollers on mine so that that doesn't happen

excelent idea
and you could have different ones notched so they draw the legs in or out to automaticly set the roller height for different machines.
And a tip for Doug, you dont have them at exactly 90deg, possition it so it slightly draws the timber toward the fence. Its like having a good helper at the other end
