  That was a great idea, well worth the time and effort, many many years ago I used rolls but on a larger scale, you needed a lot of rollers to keep it straight and stable, especially on large, long, heavy pieces of timber, and if you’re not careful, it used to vibrate, which obviously with a pattern in the wood, <br>Later in life, I purchased two separate a jointer and a planner, SCM , F 420 j Class, S 520 Class E , but I still built a in-feed and out-feed table, for the F420, 5Mt in length, and similar for the S 520 , this one could be ajustable, I am now retired in my 70s , and I still have my machines, but with out extensions, <br>I am English but living in France, if you need to recalibrate your height adjustment, get yourself a steel ruler, fit some magnets to it, and put it just under the height gauge, probably putting a small mark on the frame/chassis so you know you put it back in the same place each time, good luck with your project,

  For the people watching you, never use a miter gauge and a rip fence together! &nbsp; Good way to get hurt!

  NEVER trap a workpiece against the fence when making a crosscut like shown at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgFSsfGunSI&amp;t=135">2:15</a> ... this is a kickback accident waiting to happen! &nbsp;And never stand directly behind the blade when doing it. &nbsp;Instead, clamp something on the fence behind the blade to measure your cut so the workpiece is completely free at the blade... as you stand to the side. &nbsp;Save yourself a serious injury.

  A simple, very good idea. &nbsp;I am now considering a smaller version for my Dewalt thicknesser. &nbsp;Thanks for posting. &nbsp;: )

  Those four assembly jigs really caught my attention as a zero experience would be woodworker. I got scared though of your table saw cross cutting technique using that mitre gauge against the table saw fence. Of course I have saved the project for my own build, thank you so much! This earned you one of your ardent learners and followers, thank you!

  I love what you did to your planer, but you terrified me while you were using your table saw.

  I dont know your shop situation or your overall needs. What I see is someone building something for their own needs and preference. &nbsp;It doesn&apos;t have to be right for everyone else, just as long as it suits your needs. &nbsp;Good on you for putting yourself out there. No hate here, just respect for doing it.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgFSsfGunSI&amp;t=516">8:36</a> holy shit. &nbsp;I had no idea they made a slide in router table insert for this saw. &nbsp;That&apos;s great. I&apos;m thinking of making an insert for my table saw as well. &nbsp;Just using the same fence with modifications.

  I built mine as a full roller cabinet with folding wings. That way I can save on shop space when I don&apos;t need the large capacity. And with my design I have 2 feet in front and rear when wings are folded down. With wings are up I have a total of 5 feet in front and rear
