I cut a lot of 4 x 8 sheets of plywood on my table saw, will one of these work as an in feed or would two single roller stands be better?
BEST ANSWER: Single rollers only go one direction so when the get a little out of square with the table you will fight them to keep the panel aligned in the saw. This allows movement in any direction so it is much easier to control, especially on an infeed.

I would like to use this in a damp location and store it in a humid Texas garage. Will it get rusty?
BEST ANSWER: John, I've had mine for a while here in jersey where humidity regularly starts the day around 90% and goes down to about 55-60% by the end of the day. My roller stand has 0 rust on it. Has been rained on a few times but dried it off right away.

How can roller fold for storage?
BEST ANSWER: It folds up fairly flat but it wants to unfold itself all the time. I use a tiny bungee cord to keep it from unfolding.

I just received this stand a few days ago and put it to work yesterday. I was cutting a 3" X 12" X 10' long piece of solid cherry for a bench I'm making. Without this stand there would have been no way I would have been able to stabilize the slab for the crosscut on my sliding miter saw. But with this stand and the three roller ball bearing design, it was better then actually having another person try and hold up the end of it. There is no way my wife would have been able to keep the slab steady/level for cutting. The stand allowed me to manipulate the slab into position for the cut. It worked perfectly. I also used it as an out feed table on my table saw, and planer. I was ripping/ planing 10' long pieces of oak. Again, it worked perfectly. The stand is very sturdy, and the design is great. Folds up and stores easily against the shop wall without taking up a lot of space. Now if I only had more tool money, Hear this honey: I would have purchased two of them. In feed and out feed would have been ideal, with two. Five+ stars in my book. Better then the old single roller type. Time to start saving more tool money for a second one. Highly recommend.

I was looking to invest in a roller stand because I work alone and could not handle long piece of wood by my self. After reading the reviews I chose the 3 row ball bearing stand. The day I received it I used it and it work as all the reviews said. It never tried to turn over and what I like about it you can move the boards in any direction with ease and with just a long roller it would move in one direction only. I love it and could not have cut the 4x8 sheets of ply wood with out it or someone helping me. Great item and glad I chose this one.

Outfeed tables and roller racks are...
Outfeed tables and roller racks are too big, expensive and have limited flexability.Once I saw this stand I read the reviews and decided to try one. Excellent design, well constructed, solid and it even has redundant elevation locks. Someone was thinking when they came up with the very clever leveling pads. Eccentric end caps on the bottom crosspiece do the trick.The rows of rollerballs are a smart alternative to the typical single roller. This approach eliminates the need to square the stand to the saw. Just set the height, level the stand and go.I can buy at least three of these for the price of a roller outfeed and run 12' stock in the process. Very well done!

Good solid product. I work by myself a lot and these are a great saftey product for any shop. Handling large stock is much safer. Very stable, heavy construction. A little pricy but well worth the money if you dont have a third hand.

I work alone and having the roller to assist me routing 1" thick 5' x 18" Red oak is a pleasure. It is the 18" width that is the difficult side, but the rollers make the job so easy.

I have gone through quite a number of the cheapie roller & ball-bearing stands...because I use them, and they just don't hold-up under normal use, so I splurged, and at this point anyway (~ 2 months), these are good and sturdy and perform as advertised. The bottom line is that spending a little (?) more actually saves a lot in the long run.

My first consideration was to build a table on the outfeed of my table saw. Fortunately I received notice of the stand being on sale. Problem solved, and probably saved me a lot of work. Works great, well constructed, and heavy duty. Would recommend for anyone.

Solid support
My cabinet shop is relatively small so my table saw doesn't have a large out run table. I needed to run some large pieces of veneer through the table saw on a cross cut sled and it was critical that the cuts be clean, straight and square. I bought this stand to give me a broad support for the sled as it ran off the table saw table. It's heavy and stable with nice adjustments on the legs for leveling. It did exactly what it needed to do. I use it for ripping large stock when I need larger out feed support. Very happy with this tool.

We purchased this as a replacement for several lower quality roller stands that we had bought from the local big box store and which kept breaking and falling appart. This stand is much stronger and more stable. The only regret is that we didn't buy one sooner.

I'm not a big fan of...
I'm not a big fan of the roller stands, especially the lightweight flimsy they fall over ones like my first set that I bought many years ago which weren't made for any heavy plywood sheet handling work or heavy hardwood boards. So I was a little hesitant on buying this stand. When I saw these go on sale plus free shipping I bought two. I don't have any experience with these yet because they just were delivered. Each stand 37 pounds per box was boxed in a heavy duty cardboard box wrapped in plastic with plastic yellow strapping. There is no instruction sheet to put these together as it's all spelled out on the outside of the box. Took 5 min. to put them together, and ready to go. These are heavy duty, no mistakes. I know I'll be happier with these than the old ones.
