Product Information
Full details
The Excel Roller Stand - X2 is designed for woodworkers, metal fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts who need stable, adjustable support for long or awkward workpieces. Its key benefit is providing smooth, consistent material feeding and support for machinery like bench saws, planers, and thicknessers, significantly improving accuracy and safety. A potential caveat is its 60kg maximum load capacity, which may be insufficient for extremely heavy materials. This stand offers a pair of durable, height-adjustable roller supports with a solid steel construction for reliable workshop assistance.

Troubleshooting
Roller stand is wobbly
Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked. Place the stand on a level surface. Check that the workpiece is within the 60kg load limit and centered on the rollers.
Height adjustment is stiff
Clear any dust or debris from the height adjustment mechanism. Apply a light lubricant if necessary, ensuring it does not affect grip on the workpiece.
Workpiece does not roll smoothly
Check the rollers for any obstructions, debris, or damage. Ensure the rollers are clean and free from sticky residue. Verify the workpiece is evenly supported.
Stand slides during use
Confirm that the rubber feet are clean and in good condition. Ensure the floor surface is not excessively slippery. Consider placing a non-slip mat beneath the stand if necessary.
