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.


It will be flat on the saw table, and can be maintained square to the
fence. When I said lift the piece I meant lift the end up slightly to
get it to slid on to the table. This can be done by hand or a slight
incline at the edge of the table. The natural spring of the board will
allow the board to lay flat on the saw table and have the end a little
higher than the table. I am only talking about less than a half inch in
4 to 6 feet.
