Product Information
Full details
The BORA A-frame Tri-Function Pedestal Roller Stand is designed for woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts who need versatile and stable material support for various shop tools. Its key benefit is offering three distinct support functions – roller, ball, and rigid – in one adjustable unit, serving effectively as an outfeed table. A potential caveat is its weight capacity, which, while substantial, requires users to be mindful of heavier materials.

FAQs
What are the three support functions?
The three functions are a smooth steel roller for feeding, multi-directional ball rollers for adaptable positioning, and a rigid stationary support.
What is the minimum and maximum height?
The height is adjustable from 686mm (25 inches) to 1111mm (43.75 inches).
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The stand can support a maximum weight of 136kg (285lbs).
Is assembly required?
Yes, minimal assembly is typically required, involving unfolding the legs and securing any locking pins.
How does it handle uneven surfaces?
It features a wide stance with non-slip rubber feet and an adjustable foot that can be turned to level the stand on uneven floors.
Can this stand be used as a workbench?
While it provides stable support, it is primarily designed as a material support stand or outfeed table. For workbench applications, dedicated workbenches are recommended.
How does it fold for storage?
The legs and frame are designed to fold compactly, making it easy to store in a garage or workshop when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Stand wobbles during use
Ensure all locking mechanisms for height adjustment are fully engaged. Adjust the leveling foot on the base to compensate for uneven flooring. Verify that the stand is on a stable, level surface.
Roller is stiff or doesn't turn freely
Check for any debris or obstructions around the roller. Clean the roller and its bearings. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of light machine oil to the roller axle.
Height adjustment is difficult
Ensure the locking pin or lever is fully released before attempting to adjust. Clean any dust or grit from the height adjustment column. A light application of lubricant may help.
Parts are missing or damaged
Contact the manufacturer's customer support with your model number (PM-5093) and a description of the missing or damaged parts for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The stand typically requires minimal assembly upon arrival. Unfold the legs, insert any locking pins as indicated in the manual, and adjust the height to your desired level using the locking mechanism. Ensure the height adjustment is securely locked before placing any load on the stand.
Compatibility: This stand is compatible with most common shop equipment that requires material support, including table saws, miter saws, drill presses, band saws, and planers. Its adjustable height makes it a universal fit for different machine bed heights.
Care: To maintain its performance, regularly wipe down the rollers and frame with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Periodically check that all bolts and locking mechanisms are tight. Lubricate the height adjustment mechanism if it becomes stiff. Store in a dry place to prevent rust on metal components.
