RE: [BlindHandyMan] A new approach to the roller stand.
Hi Max Another approach is use an old Ironing Board with the cloth top taken off , this can quickly adjust to many heights as required. If you had two ironing boards they could support large sheets as they are passing through the saw. When not in use can fold away. In fact my mate uses his when he is working on Car's, he has it along side the car to put his tools on.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] A new approach to the roller stand.
Well as they say, there is more than wone way toskin the cat. I don't know how heavy the commercial ones are so I gbuilt a couple. I used the sliding height adjustment from a pedestal fan that had bit the dust. The upper roller assembly is a piece of one and a half inch pvc with plugs cut with a hole saw in the ends and threaded rod for the axle. One by fours complete the u bracket to hold the roller. The base is a used brake rotor with pipe fittings to adapt to the pipe. Another one I used a couple of octagon junction box covers bolted on each side of the rotor and bolted the bracket that was with the fan onto the j box covers. Lots of different ways. Since I do ripping of one bys and two bys on this saw and almost all panel cutting on saw horses with a skil saw these roller stands work fine for me. I set the rollers about a half of an inch lower than the table so it is less likely to push sideways on the roller.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] A new approach to the roller stand.
I have two different styles. The one that I don't like folds for storage. This stand is prone for tipping. The other is a heavier stand and has a pedestal base. This one has never tipped. The instructions on both are to have the outfeed stand slightly lower than the table saw bed. The other critical mention is that it must be parallel to the saw. If it is not parallel it can cause the wood to not stay straight. I thought about building one for my sliding miter saw but Karen tossed out the critical part. She had an old rolling pin made of wood. She would no longer use it for baking and I did not get my hands on it in time.
