AVOID Making These ROLLER STAND Mistakes!

Portable, adjustable roller stands are extremely helpful tools on the jobsite! They act as a second set of hands while you're using power tools, especially large POWER SAWS.

However, if you don't use roller stands the right way, they can actually make your cutting much more dangerous!

For instance, you always want the top of your roller stand to be ON THE SAME PLANE as your cutting surface (i.e. table saw top, or miter saw bed). If your roller stand top is not on the same plane, it can twist your board, causing it to lift off the cutting surface. This can cause dangerous kickback!

You also want your roller stand to be stable. I like to shim the feet on mine with small wood blocks. Then, I like to WEIGHT THE ROLLER STAND DOWN! This prevents it from wobbling/walking.

You also typically want your roller stand slightly lower than your cutting surface. This way, boards can bend just a little bit and still land on your roller without knocking it over.

And you want your roller stand set at just the right distance from your cutting surface. Find a point where it no longer causes the board to LEVER UP off the table.

If used safely, roller stands can make your job immensely easier. Just be sure to focus on getting them set in the right place BEFORE YOU CUT!

Thanks for watching!
