I bought one about a couple of months ago. I actually modified it to work as an in/out feed suppost for my small drum sander. Works well but I had to shim the tubes to make sure the rollers were parallel to the drive belt surface. This device was the perfect solution for me since I'm tight on space and need to slide the rollers in when not in use - well worth the $.

Thanks for the post. I just bought one.

Personally, I prefer a drill press table setup to one like that myself.

I find myself annoyed at how often I have to adjust the DP table height during normal operations...having to adjust the 2 rollers each time also would just compound the issue.

I almost bought one but when I looked at how the thing is attached to the main support and how often I raise and lower the table, I am glad I didn't buy it.

My father bought a workpice clamp for the DP years ago. It was a flawed design. I threw it away a few months ago as there was no fixing it.

Not all accesories are worth having.

I bought one very similar about 2 years ago. I think I've used it maybe twice. PITA to adjust and even then, the rollers are never parallel to the table. I left it mounted for a long time thinking i might use it if it were already there. Finally pulled it off and it collects dust now.
