Questions & Answers
The roller measures 11 1/2 inches long by 2 inches wide. It does, in fact, freely roll and turn. Here are the remaining relevant dimensions, just in case you were curious: When open and in use, the height (at its shortest) is about 27", the height (at its fullest) is about 44", and the footprint is about 20"X17". I hope this has been of assistance.
The "rollers" do not roll; instead, they are stationary and can be removed entirely from the stand. Mine, at the very least, can.
Because it does not roll, the "roller" isn't really a roller. It's about ten inches wide and has a seven-inch diameter. 5" bracket that is flat.
11 3/4" is the width of the roller.

Screws are cheap Chinese junk that can be removed with the Allen key provided. Components have an excessive amount of play, making it very easy to assemble them incorrectly. On a flat floor, even after leveling the feet to the best of my ability, it wobbles.
This product is intended to be a minimum viable product, but it is badly designed. The height can be adjusted with a bolt that screws into a 1/4-inch hole in the handle. A total of 20 nut tacks were welded to the frame. As a result, it's very easy for the top piece to become crooked. This isn't ideal for a product that allows you to only roll a piece in one direction. They also cut corners when it came to the packaging. I ordered two, and both of them had large gouges in the paint due to parts shifting during shipping.
I've owned three similar stands in the past, all of which cost around the same as this one did 15 years ago. Two of them were roller-only stands, which I still have, and one was a roller-ball-only stand, which was rendered useless due to rusted and frozen rollers. The only thing better about those stands was that the leg cross members were welded in place. On the end of the cross members were rubber cane tip cups that quickly routed away. This stand's "feet" are a cut above the rest. The other stands opened completely vertically, meaning that almost every time stock approached the roller, the stand would rise up and topple over. I like how the rollers' story bar is angled toward approaching work, as if to discourage them from doing so. br>br>The main reason I bought this was because it is a roller ball stand. To me, the fixed head and the bar roller were both through ins. They could be put to good use. They might not be. Bar rollers come in handy when working with wood or anything that has a fence. They must be perfectly aligned or the board will be pulled away from the fence or jammed into the fence. They'd probably come in handy with a thickness planer when working with long, heavy boards or timbers. When it comes to using a fence, roller balls are the way to go. br>You'll need two of them if you're working with long boards or sheets of material. The cut on the outfeed for sheet material must be supported on both sides. You can use one as an infeed and the other as an outfeed with narrower sheet material or boards. br>I'll keep you updated if any problems arise during use.
This would be less of a problem if it weren't for the fact that 2. To avoid this, I added a piece of wood that fits perfectly between the feet. br>br>2) The base moves more freely than the rollers. My concrete floor is too slippery for the hard plastic feet. To avoid this problem, I installed rubberized floor mats. br>br>3) They must be perfectly aligned or they will suffer from one of the issues listed above; however, the issues listed above make them easy to misalign. br>br>4) The height adjustment is finicky, and the leveling of the rollers is not guaranteed. br>br>In the end, I wish I had spent the extra $7 on omnidirectional rollers. Some of these issues would have been greatly mitigated if this had been done.
Update - The height adjustment screw threads stripped out after less than a year, rendering the stand inoperable. It wasn't even used that frequently. Quite disappointingbr>br>In many situations, this stand serves as a second pair of hands. For months, it's been slipping around in the bed of my truck, getting beat up, and I pull it out at work at least once a week. I believe I paid $25 for it, and it was well worth it. I was concerned that the up and down adjustment would not hold or would strip out, but there have been no issues. While sliding around in the back of my truck, the roller wheel came loose at one point, but it was simple to replace.
This is my first year with this stand. I've sent this thing flying across my shop a dozen times, accompanied by a barrage of expletives for each piece of wood I've attempted to support. This elicits a great deal of rage in me. br>br>If it is even slightly bumped, such as by a dust hose, it will all fall out of alignment and will need to be reset. When you tighten things down to stabilize it, the tubes simply crush, and everything becomes loose and unstable once more. Something bad happens every time I touch this thing, not least of which is that it REALLY, REALLY wants to crush my fingers. This thing might be stable if you weld it together and bolt it to the floor, but for the same price as this piece of junk, you could make a nice set of multiple support stands out of 2x4s and a length of dowel rod. My $0. After a year of faithful service, the number is 02 Take care of yourself.
This does not impress me in the least. br>Because one of the feet is WAY out of alignment with the other three, it wobbles horribly. br>I can see the mechanism you use to tighten it after you've adjusted the height failing fairly quickly. It's leaving marks all over the rod that you're essentially tightening a bolt into, so I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before that rod is weakened and the bolt goes straight through it. This was suggested by my father, and not even a day after I received mine, his failed in the same way I described.
This is a very sturdy unit that folds up neatly to be stored out of the way when not in use. I don't have enough space in my store to accommodate an out-of-town customer. My table saw now has a feed table, allowing me to cut larger pieces without them falling off the end. The biggest advantage is that it raises to the same height as my band saw table, which makes it ideal for cutting larger pieces of wood. I recently cut 50 2' x 2' hearts, and having this assistance to hold up the material made the job much easier than holding the outer edge by hand while cutting. It also works with my miter saw, allowing long pieces of wood to be supported. If you have a small shop or a limited amount of space, one of these might be a good option for you. It comes highly recommended from me.
