AVOID Making These ROLLER STAND Mistakes!
Portable, adjustable roller stands are extremely helpful tools on the jobsite! They act as a second set of hands while you're using power tools, especially large POWER SAWS.
However, if you don't use roller stands the right way, they can actually make your cutting much more dangerous!
For instance, you always want the top of your roller stand to be ON THE SAME PLANE as your cutting surface (i.e. table saw top, or miter saw bed). If your roller stand top is not on the same plane, it can twist your board, causing it to lift off the cutting surface. This can cause dangerous kickback!
You also want your roller stand to be stable. I like to shim the feet on mine with small wood blocks. Then, I like to WEIGHT THE ROLLER STAND DOWN! This prevents it from wobbling/walking.
You also typically want your roller stand slightly lower than your cutting surface. This way, boards can bend just a little bit and still land on your roller without knocking it over.
And you want your roller stand set at just the right distance from your cutting surface. Find a point where it no longer causes the board to LEVER UP off the table.
If used safely, roller stands can make your job immensely easier. Just be sure to focus on getting them set in the right place BEFORE YOU CUT!
Thanks for watching!

An issue I've ran across that you didn't mention is to make sure the roller is as square to the table as possible when used making rips on the table saw. I've had boards actually feed away from the fence because the single, long roller was "steering" it off kilter. In addition to the long roller, my roller stands include the little ball bearing type rollers that prevent this from happening.

@TheHonestCarpenter 10 месяцев назад

Dang, good point Phil! I should have mentioned this…

@homer009x 10 месяцев назад

Yes this was the main tip I was waiting for.

@thefirsted 10 месяцев назад

I have experienced this as well though I was using the roller as an infeed support.

@peterbarlow8912 10 месяцев назад

I have one with a row of swivel casters and a cam plate to lift the droop. Those slippery solid flip top ones also help avoid stubbing into the stand.

@_bobsayshello 10 месяцев назад

Wouldn't it be better to angle it slightly towards the fence to help the board stay flush?

@johnwkomdat 10 месяцев назад

The Workpro looks identical to the Bauer at Harbor Freight, which is $25. I can’t compare their quality, but the Bauer has the leveling knob and flip-up edge guides, too.

@themessygarage 10 месяцев назад

You do a great job of putting a lot of thoughtful information in a pretty short video without seeming like you're in a hurry. Thanks for the great tips!

@TheHonestCarpenter 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, Messy! I appreciate that 🙂

@wayneyadams 10 месяцев назад

Doing a dry run is the best tip you made. Roller stand distance can be tricky as you pointed out. Too close as you showed will act as a fulcrum, and too far might allow the board to lift before reaching the stand.

@LarryB-inFL 10 месяцев назад

Really glad to see you (or anyone!) finally talk about roller stands! My only comment is that I find that having two of them is a lot more useful...whether for both infeed and outfeed, doubling up on outfeed for very long boards, or to support a wider plywood board in a couple of places.

@TheHonestCarpenter 10 месяцев назад

I agree Larry! I’m down to one at the moment, but wish I’d had two for the vid 😄

@turningwiththewoods 10 месяцев назад

One thing to me you didn’t mention is that the stand must be set correctly in terms of the legs . To me that added stability if they are set with the spread facing the correct direction; if placed backwards i found they still can become unstable even if at the correct height.

@ScottyDrake 10 месяцев назад

Correct! If the roller stand is placed incorrectly, it can actually fold up, even if the roller is operating properly. So, before making the cut, push on the roller in the direction of the feed. If the stand collapses, turn it around. It should then be fine.

@kristofbarta2964 10 месяцев назад

I’ve had it folding up on me when set up the wrong way.

@runningdeummer 10 месяцев назад

In the video, I noticed it was angling away from the table saw, which creates a fulcrum point for the back legs. It’s been my experience the stand works best when angling towards the saw. You can probably eliminate the need to weigh down the legs with this setup.

@hojo70 10 месяцев назад

I use a plastic top folding banquet table with telecoping legs for easy height adjustments as an outfeed table, easy to store and setup and works great

@WanJae42 10 месяцев назад

Excellent. I always keep some small, empty sandbags in a tool case for these sorts of situations where you need to weight something down. You can always find some gravel, rocks, or something to fill them.

@DD-vk5nd 10 месяцев назад

Good call. Even "helping" tools need to be set up correctly. I have a roller stand and the thing that I concentrate on is to have it the "right way" around. If it's the wrong way it easily pushes over leading to most of the problems that you pointed out

@loumonte658 10 месяцев назад

@dallinhmic 10 месяцев назад

I would love to see a part 2 and 3 and maybe even a part 4 and 5 of this video. I think it would be cool to see some of those joints retested with a better clamping/ fit setup. And then other joints tested in the exact same way.

@earlmorton1216 10 месяцев назад

I have wondered how critical it is for the roller itself to be perpendicular to the saw blade. If it is rotated a bit, will it tend to steer the board off the cut line?

@lazygardens 10 месяцев назад

See the pinned comment: it's important.

@heiser_bill 7 месяцев назад

I have a pair of stands that look exactly like these (even down to the color), but they are from Harbor Freight. The one feature I really wish they had is a geared mechanism to adjust the height. I find it very tedious to adjust while trying to align with a dry-fit board, holding the stand to keep it in place (the legs tend to move), while at the same time turning the lever to loosen the adjustment point, raise/lower it, and re-tighten the level. The ability to just turn a knob to make the adjustment would be a huge improvement IMO.

@montewestlund8195 10 месяцев назад

Flip top support stands from home depot work great and eliminate some of the problems with roller stands. i've used both, use the flip top stands and roller stands haven't come out of storage for years. excellent points though on the roller stands. Flip top stands really do work better when weighted down too.

@tchevrier 10 месяцев назад

I have a couple of those roller stands. I completely agree with everything you said. I will add one point. When using them for an out-feed or in-feed stand, make sure they are perpendicular to the direction of travel. If they are at an angle or not level they will tend to pull the wood in that direction which can be a problem on your table saw. I also find depending on how high you extend the roller, they tend to be more prone to tipping in one direction vs the other. For example I'll position mine so that the folding leg is always away from the table saw on the out-feed side, and the reverse on the in-feed side.

@TheHonestCarpenter 10 месяцев назад

Very good points!!

@thefirsted 10 месяцев назад

One of the worst problems I've had with a roller is the handle giving out such that I was unable to tighten the height adjustment adequately. I ended up throwing the handle out and getting a designated wrench to take its place.

@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461 10 месяцев назад

🤗👍 GREAT TIPS ETHAN 💚💚💚

@peterbarlow8912 Месяц назад

I have one with a row of swivel casters which makes alignment less crucial. It has a cam plate lead to keep board droop from stopping a rip. Been trying to get the kind with a simple slippery flip top plate.

@TheHonestCarpenter Месяц назад

I’ve seen those! I’m yet to own one though.

@peterbarlow8912 Месяц назад

@@TheHonestCarpenter they work like the cam plate to keep the workpiece droop from stubbing the stand with less moving parts. The big box store had Ridgid branded ones a while back but now the only internet source I found was nonfunctional

@thecrippledstud 10 месяцев назад

That dry test is huge especially with a table saw. I e learned my lesson. Both examples you give have happened. I was trying to either leverage my board up because the stand was too high all the while the saw is running or I had it too close and I find myself applying a ton of downward pressure on my end which can be dangerous too. Make the tools work for you, you don’t work for them. Great video Ethan.

@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter 10 месяцев назад

I hate roller stands so much that I threw away the 5 I had because I refused to condemn somone else to the headache. They redirect your material if they're not set perfectly. I used the ones with the bearings for a bit until they locked up from moisture. The ridgid outfeeds are 1000x better, in my opinion. Bought 6 and never looked back.

@Don-pq5gg 10 месяцев назад

@johnslaughter5475 10 месяцев назад

If you don't have an outfeed table, a second roller stand about a foot from the table saw can be a big help, too.

@raywarner7184 10 месяцев назад

One thing you didn't mention was to have the roller at a slight angle so that the board is kept against the fence when it hits the roller. If it is angled the wrong way the board will drift away from the fence into the side of the blade.

@tfrogginhfroggin 10 месяцев назад

Great tips

@gillgetter3004 10 месяцев назад

Yes roller stands, right slightly lower from outfeed of saw. I have seen and I’ve also done knocking them down. Dangerous with a long board while ripping!! Shut the saw off and hold board down until blade stops turning!! I was working with someone who had toe broken by falling stand.

@benpatana7664 10 месяцев назад

Great tips. Is there ever a case for using two roller stands in a line to reduce the risk of the board tipping off the saw at the end of the cut? Or does it all get too complicated??

@TheHonestCarpenter 10 месяцев назад

I have done that before, Ben! But generally only on a pretty flat floor, like a garage.

@lazygardens 10 месяцев назад

I prefer it for long boards to avoid the fulcrum effect and the sagging board problem. But I'm usually working on flat concrete. I can see how it would get tricky with uneven ground, but if you have a lot of long boards to wrangle it might be worth it.

@brucelee3388 10 месяцев назад

Lee Valley - used - to make one of the best stands. The top had a screw and knob to adjust it to level/parallel to the machine surface, it had swivel casters so it wouldn't feed your board to the side, or if they didn't work for that particular job (lots of back and forth) there was a stainless steel ramp with a radiused top that was nearly as smooth as a roller. The stands with ball rollers (transfer balls) seem to use really cheap rollers which either start with high friction or fill up with dust in the shop and need to be disassembled to clean them out - and a lot are pressed together so its a real PITA to take them apart and reassemble them. DAMHIK. I may have gone through a few different models but my old Lee Valleys are still the best. I don't think the design was subject to patent or copyright, so I'm kinda surprised no one else has made a clone.

@TheHonestCarpenter 10 месяцев назад

Dang, that sounds awesome, Bruce!

@stans5270 10 месяцев назад

There's a front side and a back side to the stand that you were using. At 4:46, you have it set incorrectly. The leg that kicks out should be away from the board being caught. It's less sturdy the way that you set it up.

@TheHonestCarpenter 10 месяцев назад

I’ve always considered that, Stan. But in practice when I’ve messed with them, I just haven’t noticed much of a difference, so I don’t sweat it as much as good alignment. They really just don’t carry that much load in the end.
