Level Floors
I am the one who suggested the rolling work bench for a side table. I
have used this same table and saw three different garages of signficant
diferent ages. I have found that even if the floor is not quite level it
does not make a lot of difference. Unless you are working with thick
materials that do not bend, most wood will easily bend a quarter to a half
an inch over the lenght of the piece.

Practically this means that your side table can differ in height from the
saw by that much and there will be no problem. You may have to lift the
end of the board a little when you reach the table, but practically it
does not effect the purpose of the side table which is to support long
pieces of wood.


If you Lift the end of the board when you reach the table, it seems to me
you are not getting a square cut at the blade. Maybe I'm nit picking, but I
like anything going through fast moving tools to be flat on the tool's
table.
