Buyer bewa

On Ebay: snip for bevity

Since last year was searching for 4 levelers for a new tablesaw
extension/assemble table. Found one in Rockler at $25.99 each plus tax
and
shipping. Too damn expensive, decided not to buy. Maybe fabricate them
when I
come to it.

Last week browsing in Internet found an exact identical leveler in
Woodworker's
Hardware at $4.72 each. Called the salesperson to verify everything in
the
picture and not just the screw bolt without the bracket. He replied
everything
in the picture. Bought 8 pcs plus few other items and total shipping
charges
came to $11.99. However total weight is 4.40 lbs. for 8 sets plus
other items
should weight more, right?

The package will arrive next Friday 30th April, wait and see and post
the
result. :-)


That's a certainly a better price from Woodworker's Hardware, but the
Rockler link does say the $25.99 price is for a set of 4.

Just noticed the WW Hardware item is rated for 2000 pounds (yikes!), vs
Rockler's at 600 lbs. Must have some substantial mounting screws.

And yet if this particular leveling foot is mounted correctly the screws
offer little more other than to keep the foot assy. from falling off of
the cabinet. A lot like Euro hinge screws that hold the door onto the
35mm cup.
But that said, I seriously doubt if the weight capacities actually
differ as much as stated. These style leveling feet are pretty robust,
I think many are rated as a set and some individually. All of them
appear to be made of the same material and design. It is pretty likely
that if you build it and can lift it these particular feet can handle it.
