- I compare a rolling pin roller stand vs. a roller ball type stand and how it worked for me. I use these for in and outfeed on my table saw and they adjust up and down a bit.

I appreciated seeing the comparison between the roller styles. I wonder if there’s a rolling pin style that has a “swivel” so it automatically aligns with the feed direction.
This video post is worth it just for the list of your tools and accessories!
Great video. I understand your issue with the roller pulling the board away from the fence. I encounter that too, but I use it to my advantage. I align the roller so that it causes the board to pull towards the fence ever so slightly.
I'm glad you told me the problems with the single roller solution slipping off the fence. Even though I need an outfeed table that goes to 48 inches and the ones on the market only go to 44 inches I ordered the roller ball type table and will elevate the legs 4 inches once I get it.
I made a roller stand years ago and turned the roller on my lathe but have always had a problem of the roller pulling the board away from the rip fence like you mentioned. Even if I turned it towards the fence just a bit it would start to pull the back of the board out. I like your idea of making your own roller stand with ball rollers and am going to make a new stand like you have. Good job. Thanks.
I just thought of another idea. What if you took your longer roller and cut it up into smaller pieces? If each section was maybe 1.5 inches wide, and you put a washer in between them - I wonder if that would make it so it wouldn't pull so bad to the sides? Since each smaller roller section could turn at a different rate, compared to one long roller like a rolling pin?
@@steveswoodworking2504 Your idea might work also and could give it a try. I think the roller balls would be easier because of how they roll in different directions and wouldn't have to have the stand exactly in line with the table saw especially ripping a board or any other tool with out feed. Your video inspired me to make something I've wanted to make for a long time but just never did. It should be a fun thing to make and a wait and see if I did it right project. lol
@@garydietzel6730 The roller balls ultimately do the trick very nicely. It was easy to rip those 10 and 12 ft long 8/4 maple boards. That's a big heavy board - and I was able to keep it against the fence easily.
Good video. I'm getting ready to make something for support for the TS so I thought I'd check out a couple of TH-cam videos and I came across this one. I had never heard of the problem with the board coming away from the fence because of the roller stand so I'm glad I caught this video. Thanks again.
Good luck. With the large heavy maple boards I was ripping, I sure couldn't keep them from drifting away from the fence with that roller! I did hear of one guy that said the roller balls were making indentations on his wood. I didn't have that issue, as my wood was rough, and not jointed or planed yet. I guess for smaller boards I could use the rollers still, since I now have both.
nice and simple!
Nice job. I've just sent for some bearings to make myself one.
Thanks Andy
Thanks! These really worked out well for me.
lets see it in action!!!!
