Jet 709207 28-Inch to 43-Inch Tall Roller Stand with 13-Inch Roller Reviews
This is a well built roller stand that does what it is supposed to do. Seems to be stable and has worked fine the couple of time I have used it. provide support for longer pieces.
I've ordered three of these from Amazon, had to return two as defective. The last one to arrive had been opened and probably returned prior to it being sent to me. Not a bad stand if you can find one that sits level. Where is it. Amazon QC. Disappointing.
Too bad the company opted for the easy way out. When I got the Roller Stand, it had a relatively minor defect. I contacted the company to get the info to fix it myself. I figured out the fix (As I'm sure the company could have done)., and saved myself the hassle of returning the item. They told me they didn't have the info, and to send it back.
The point about the uneven legs is a good one. This could be remedied by having the rubber pads on the feet so they were wider on one side and narrower on the other so that you could just turn and rotate the pad to make things level.
You can tighten the nut and accomplish this, but then you'll need your wrench to collapse it again. The Jet stands don't have a knob to lock the legs in place to prevent it collapsing as you slide the longer boards in place.
The other reviews say pretty much everything, but here's my slant on it:. First of all, I have two of this particular model and one of another model I bought from harbor freight.
I had no quality problems with these rollers and they are indeed worth the small price. Even if the tool is made properly and sits solidly on a level surface, there are many times you'll need it where the surface is not level.
For most jobs, you can leave the pivot loose, but you'll get riled when you're balancing a 12 foot 2X8 and one of the stands folds up on you.
First, I found that the roller would barely turn. One of the ends of the metal bracket holding it was bent - I had to bend it out with vice-grips held in a bench vice. Added: a couple of days later I received the second of two stands I had ordered. It sits level on the floor, so this one is much better than the first. One foot sits almost 1/8" off the ground, giving a big wobble. They are not adjustable. Same paint scratch, and the roller is stiff due to a bent bracket, but not completely stuck like the first.
Next, I found that the stand won't sit level on the floor. One last thing, more ironic than serious. Sure enough, the weld holding on one of the foot pieces had scraped through the paint on the opposite leg. At least the bubble wrap protected the stand from the cardboard box :).
The stand came wrapped in bubble wrap, but I immediately noticed that the wrap didn't extend between the folding legs. I'll have to cut or sand two of the other foot pads until it sits flat. This stand will do the job, but it's going to be more trouble than it should. The bracket seems sturdy, so this should be a one-time fix.
I'm not sure if this will be enough to effect use of the stand or not. After all that, I will say that the stand seems sturdy, folds compactly, and will probably work well once I get it to sit level. The roller is quite out-of-round, too.
