I needed something for supporting long stock on my machines.
I seriously considered just buying some cheapo roller stands but that would be boring. Also I wanted the roller stands to be able to tilt sideways because of my uneven shopfloor. So I decided to make them myself and make them an accessory for my existing sawhorses. They would clamp onto the top beam of the sawhorses using bar clamps. This way the side tilting funktionality wuould be included, so to speak. I made the roller out of a piece of sturdy PVC pipe and the frame from some cheap spruce plywood. This is a very simple project that anyone with the bare minimum of tools can make.
Great vid pal, was your extractor on? Your planer seemed quiet, how so? Happy 2018
very slick. congrats
What kind of table saw is that?
Very good idea. Thanks for your video.
What an ingenious idea! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Clever…going to give this a try👍
Warum hast du noch einen englischen kanal?
GENIUS!
What brand is that jointer you are using?
I am just wondering since you glue both roller and steel shaft on the other side of stand, then how can it keep spinning? (when you knock the steel shaft into through the hole to connect to the roller, won’t that epoxy stick both roller and stand?) Thanks for sharing!
Great little project, well presented, I love your sense of humour. If viewers are worried about the lack of bearings (over the top really, as the amount of turning the rollers do will not cause significant wear….assuming amature use), a solution would be to simply fit greased metal sleeves into the end of the rollers for the pins to rotate in. Simples. Carry on the great work Cosmos.
Nice, do you think you will add foam or something to the roller to protect the work?
I needed a feed roller so I watched this backwards.
I made similar ones from regular drain pipe, they’ve stood up to the abuse of time quite well in the last 2 years and half.
Very nicely done -and thank you for taking the time to make the vid. Excellent design from commonly found materials for DIY. I see a set of these in my future….
Really nice
I’m thinking you could attach it to your saw on a sort of swing up & out to out-feed armature to save time with saw horse & clamp set up…like the idea Cosmas! Thanks alot!
interesting! no bearings and still works great, you gave me the courage to make some for my metal bandsaw 😀
Good job! I will use your idea
Very nice – as usual.
So glad I watched your video before I bought ball bearings
Excellent, congratulations
Brilliant. You have just saved me a lot of money!
Question: You put epoxy in the axle hole on the roller then on the part of the axle that mates to the hole in the axle. You then drive the axle with the epoxy on it through the axle support and into the roller. It seems like the axle would then bond to both the support and the roller and refuse to turn. Can you explain what actually happened here?
Hi, Cosmas. What brand is that circle cutter?
Lol I always enjoy your sense of humour.
Like your design, going to make some modifications. Instead of making a circle out of plywood, I will purchase some end caps, glue them onto the PVC and drill a hole in the center and attached some screws and nuts, and locktite them on so they don’t come loose. Of course, I will work on the endcaps before glue them on. Also, this will prevent the boards from sliding off when you push them onto the PVC roller.
That’s just what I need for working with a 5m plank.
Nice work; is that a new Festool miter saw I saw?
i was scared the fly cutter would hit that clamp… it would be something i would do for sure lol
Great work! What is that small green plane on your wall?
Very clever Cosmas. I like your thinking and the bits of humour you put in the recording
jolly good show young man!
That would be useful in the shop! That’s for inspiration! Love the video quality too! What kind of camera do you use? I’ve had to stick with my Samsung S6 and it’s okay, but I have a kickstarter project that’s going to be launched soon for my new clamp design, the Andrew clamp, and I’d love to have comparable video quality as you!
Great idea! Simple in design and execution and very functional. Just what I have been searching for.
3 phase huh I always thought it was a home workshop.
Great for in-feed, also. Add that to title?? Thanks
👍
Nicely done 🙂 ॐ
🖒
Good tip with applying a "prefinish" to help with the splintering
Great idea! This is just what I need. Well done video. 👍🏻
Clever … as always !
love yr idea…thanks for sharing
Nice work! Do you find that the tubing sags or bends over time?
Nicely done.
Size of pvc?
can you tell me for what uses is this thick pvc pipe? or where you can buy online. Thanks
great just great
