Ya sometimes, you gotta get wild and break out the numbered contraptions. I suppose that there are uses other than for shims. I've yet to find one, though. When my stock of playing cards, veneer and Wilsonart formica samples run out, I still got those dusty old metal rulers that I bought before an old cabinet maker wisened me up. Metal tapes and folding rules are excellent for dragging pencils out from under the bench. Stick a magnet on the end of the metal tapes and, they're great screw picker uppers. I'm not as flexible.

Dunno whether it came with them or if I bought them (I’m thinking I had to buy them, not positive) I KNOW I had to drill the holes to mount them. Report
February 20, 20197 yr Popular Post comment_179189 Now, that as a team, we have found a simple solution, I have ordered the new castors. Can hardly wait to install them and put them into use. We had better results on this thread than the ones I have read at the SS forums. Great job, team. Report

February 20, 20197 yr comment_179274 Yes, I would love one. I could turn ball bats and a few other things. But, since I have two, I can just align them and clamp together, move the head stock on one to to get the desired length. At least I'm not turning a tree. I would not dare be in the vicinity of an operation such as this. Report
