Default 8' long rip on TS

I use two roller stands actually. One is a single roller stand that I use
left of the table saw and the other is a 13 roller stand that I use
primarily for outfeed support.


Props for keeping up with the woodworking in the chair.

As to those roller stands....
The ones with multiple bearing balls don't push or direct the stock like
the ones with the single, long roller.
If you have the ones with the single long roller, I find that angling
them ever so slightly towards the fence helps keep stock against the
fence. When they angle away from the fence they try to pull the stock
away, too.

Every advantage helps when you're on rollers, yourself. :-)
