| crasher |  Roller stand pointersJanuary 14th, 2006 04:57 PM R: If the roller isn't set up perfectly perpendicular to the piece of material's motion then the material will 'walk' to one end or the other on the roller. That's bad news if you're using a saw. The ballbearing units stop that from being a problem, but if you're rolling a heavy piece of soft material (a slab of poplar for instance) the balls will cause dented impressions into the underside of the material. My personal favorite is the tabletop sold by the orange BORG. It's a skateboard sized top, very slick/slide-eee. Lets the material move very nicely. No probs with my BORG bought unit yet, but I'm being careful of the height adjustment knob on the vertical tube. I had *3* C-man units strip the welded nut out on the tube, allowing the roller to auto-lower in use. Nope, no Craftsman warrantee even with tickee... It's not a handtool. Best of luck, whatever you need. |
