Outfeed/Infeed supports, Roller vs Single Bearings vs Slider.
I prefer to use just an ordinary piece of 1.5 inch white plastic sewer pipe for the piece to slide across, as a long roller if not perfectly aligned will make the piece want to cant to one side or the other and result in binding at the saw blade. There are also the single roller bearings which can be fastened to a cross support and essentially work similar to just sliding as there is not tendency to cant sideways unless they are tilted slightly on one end of the support.
What do you use and/or is there something better?
