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.

Dale has expressed some frustration with the typical roller stand you can buy at almost any home improvement store. Last week I saw one of Norm's TV shows in which he stated the same problems. That is, more often than not the piece of wood coming off the table saw knocks over the stand instead of going on top of it as it's supposed to. Well, Norm has come up with a solution. It's two tall wooden boxes that slide together with a floor stand on one of the boxes and 4 rollers on the other. A threaded rod runs vertically through the whole thing which is arranged for a height adjustment. It's heavy enough and has a large enough base that it shouldn't be easy to tip over. The only thing I might change when I build mine is to make the roller closest to the saw lower then the one next to it and each one just a little higher. Come to think of it the top could be made to pivot so the rollers could be all on the same level or each one just a little higher than the one before it. Whachya think of that. Regards. Max.
