Questions & Answers
The shaft, which holds the roller, is held in place by four set screws. So, without dismantling mine, I'd say yes, you should be able to remove the roller. I hope this has been of assistance to you!
I thought the stand had a "made in USA" sticker on it, but I can't seem to find it. I had to remove about a pound of meat from the recipe. With my metal band saw, I was able to level the surface by 1/2". I like the stand because it's well-made.
The outer column is made of iron and there is no wobble. This is a well-made stand; I have four of them on a 22-inch band saw, and they do a great job for me.
Maybe it's just me, but if you have a machine shop, you should be able to do whatever you want with this. It's a pretty basic device, so I understand why you wouldn't make it a DIY project; you can't get good bearing sets for that, let alone the extra stock!

I previously owned two roller stands before purchasing this one. A multi roller with a scissor frame was one of them. Simply put, it's garbage. One of them was a Rule, a well-known brand of woodworking machinery. The roller on it, however, rusted badly, and the folding "A" frame would always fold up and fall at the most inconvenient time. This shop art is something I think I should do - I'm not going to be able to dispose of it. br>br>So I came across this roller and liked the design as well as the weight, which is substantial and stays in place. I think this is the best single roller I've ever used, and I'll buy another one because the clamps for height adjustment and the head swivel are very effective. Advantages: br>br> It's heavy and stays in place no matter where you put it. The quality of the roller appears to be excellent. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. To adjust the height, you'll need a Metric Allen wrench (included). To keep the key from falling out of the stand, I cut a short piece of aluminum tube and taped it to it. The issue has been resolved. Would I tell a friend about this? br>br> Without a doubt.
I decided to do some research online and found these Vestil stands. I purchased two stands after reading the reviews. They were quick to arrive and simple to assemble. To make the roller the same height as the surface of my band saw, I had to cut 1/2" off the bottom of the tube where it goes into the leg. The stand should still be able to go high enough for my table saw at this height. The weight of the stand, as well as the quality and smoothness of the roller, impressed me. Each stand has a weight capacity of 1760 pounds, which is far more than I intend to use them for. Others said they didn't like using the Allen wrench to tighten down the clamp when adjusting the height because they were afraid of losing it. I did take a metric bolt, threaded a nut all the way on, and welded the nut on the head side of the bolt, then welded on a piece of metal to make a T handle bolt, but I'm not sure if this provides enough leverage to tighten down the clamp and keep it at the desired height. I'm still not sure if this will be strong enough to support the roller, especially if there will be heavy objects on the stands. I'm thinking about making a holder for the Allen wrench so it doesn't get misplaced when it's not in use.
The height of my bandsaw (Grizzly, but any 7x12 horizontal/vertical bandsaw) is around 22". Nobody makes a roller stand that short, and none of the alternatives can be easily modified without welding or a lot of fab rework. I took about 2" off the inside of the container. before putting it all together It performs admirably. It's about an inch or so shorter than it should be, so I'll raise it to proper table height. Instead of a screw, a knob should be used to adjust the height of the clamp. br>br> Even with the clamp fully loosened, the adjustment clamp was a little tight at the top. It's solid but expensive; it costs a lot more than the alternative cheap light ones, but it's your only option if you want to shorten one easily. br>br>It's solid but expensive; it costs a lot more than the alternative cheap light ones, but it's your only option if you want to shorten one easily. br>br>It's solid but expensive; it costs a lot more than the alternative cheap light ones, but it's your.
This stand is a step up from the others that are commonly available. Adjustable, heavy, and strong. Great. Is there anything wrong with it? br>It would be nice to have a way to keep the Allen wrench on the stand, but I can't complain about anything else. True, sometimes a larger base would be nice, but the base DOES have holes through which it could be attached to a larger piece of ply or something. Also, the cost is reasonable. The majority of the other stands on the market are at least half the price and are completely useless. I now have two of these, as well as a few others that I made myself. In a store, it's an absolute must.
We ordered four of these stands and were thrilled to receive and use them on a large project; they arrived on two days apart. One of the packages was open on the first day, with a folded and tucked in piece of cardboard covering the open end. The driver assured me that everything was fine and that everything was in place. My initial reaction was positive. However, after putting the stand together, I discovered that it sticks when spinning and rotates out of round. We opened the second stand, hoping it would be fine, only to discover the same issue. I had high hopes for the second shipment, but unfortunately, they both have the same issue. When I contacted the company, I was directed to a very pleasant man in the parts department, who needed to obtain instructions from their engineer. "Please ship (1) part 74-" came back after three days of calls and emails. 001- If the unit is still under warranty, the IHS will show 221 on the screen. Thanks" - There was no shipping address or instructions, nor was there any indication of how long the process would take or how to speed things up. I expressed the urgency and inquired as to how I could assist. We had lost a week on the project, and my assistant would only be staying for another week. I'm willing to pay for expedited shipping, but I need to know that the new part will meet my expectations. A quick resolution is required due to the nature of the project. Manufacturing flaws are unavoidable, as I'm sure you are aware. When the problem is resolved, I will revise and update this review.
I've tried every other type of stand and despise them all. They'd topple over, turn at an angle, and make cutting 3/4"x4'x8' sheets of plywood a dangerous task. This stand does not move unexpectedly, which makes me feel safe and happy. I strongly advise you to do so.
It's difficult to get the height right on this thing. (It was difficult to keep it in place while tightening it down. ) I like how they tighten everything with Allen (hex) nuts, but I think this could be a little less expensive; they did send a good Allen wrench, though. This appears to be built for function, which gives me hope.
This is a fantastic stand, and it's exactly what I've been looking for in my store. It's large and cumbersome, making it difficult to transport. But why would you buy anything else if you don't require portability? This was comparable to most light-weight "woodworking" stands in terms of price. Even some of the light-weight stands cost less. With a capacity of 1750 lbs, this is an excellent value.
