The Roller stands do take a bit of time to get level with the table each time the table has to be moved up or down. The rear spars are 1 1/4" thick and the front spars 1" thick, so the table had to move up for the front spars.
It takes a little wiggling to get that long spar aligned tight to the fence, but it gets there.
For the front spars I used a 3/8" drill bit as a gauge to set the table depth. I could have used a 1/2" bit for the 1 1/4" spars.
It got me thinking I cut a scrap piece of 1 1/8" tubing as a gauge for the distance to the end of the spar. I started measuring sockets and found the 13/16" socket was also 1 1/8" in diameter.
I found that I needed 2 clamps on the end stop so it didn't move. The end swung out, changing the stop position.
I also found it easier to work with the spars If I clamped them to the table once aligned.
All lined up ready to drill.
Back to drilling spars.
