chopsaw stand with rollers?

boxboy · May 1, 2011

I want to build a roller stand for my chopsaw to get it up off the floor so where would I go about finding rollers?

any good hardware store should have a selection to choose from. usally best to have two fixed and two turning and get at least two of them with parking brakes.

I was thinking like at least 6' of rollers 1" to 2" apart on each side... I was think finding some industrial surplus store that may have something like that?

You can almost make your own. Its just a matter of finding a bearing to fit whatever ID of the tube you want to use. I would go more than 2" apart though.

Harbor freight has cheap rollers if you get rid of there shitty bracket and make your own frame they work pretty good.

Ok your talking about a roller feed type table. Try the boeing surplus auction site. I see them on there now and then.

Boeing surplus also lists a lot of the surplus on ebay as well. Problem is it tends to fetch more than I want to pay.

I've used ones similiar to these. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=10537 They're inexpensive and pretty handy in the field since you can adjust them up/down and closer/further to match your table and material.
