I posted earlier on making an out feed table for a table saw and have decided on making a table about 5’ x 5’. The table is going to be free standing and will be able to be moved around by means of a pallet jack. The table is going to probable have 2’’x 4’’ legs or something similar and a particle board top. Does anyone know where I can purchase some Large adjustable Leg Levelers preferably with an easy way to adjust them and lock them in for height as I will need to level/dial it in to the table saw top once in place.

Thanks Richard

McFeely's - http://www.mcfeelys.com/product/HDL-0620-MCF/38quot--16-x-2quot-Heavy-Levelers-10-pack I got these for my bench and used screw in "t-nuts" from Rockler - http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=1641&filter=t%20nuts I have also used regular inexpensive t-nuts, snug-fitting guide holes drilled into the wooden legs and carriage bolts with the head ground flat with success for years. That's how my Router Table is leveled and it has to stay put as to be bolted and aligned on a common plane with my tablesaw; no problems.

These have a 2000 lb rating. http://www.wwhardware.com/heavy-duty-leg-leveler-sygheavy-m10x75.html I use them in base cabinets because an allen wrench goes in the top to adjust them. That means I can jack up the rear of a cabinet from the inside. Woodcraft sells the same thing for a higher price.

Mcmaster carr has lots of options. Search their site for " machine levelers". They have a great search engine. MSC also has lots of choices, I got levelers for my RAS and a large work bench from them.

I like these. You aren't relying on the shear of the connectors as much because there is a 'shelf' for the leg to sit on. http://m.rockler.com/m/http/www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=2053&filter=Leveler&vm_qb=rockler_product_details%2Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.r ockler.com%2Fproduct.cfm%3Fpage%3D2053&vm_co=0&vm_v=rr7xQj_HbD14caT9PpP8Obuwzn6YNT8vQhxkOK78MQM%3 D

I use them on my workbench/outfeed on a very unlevel concrete floor and they are great. BTW, they are much cheaper from McMaster-Carr ($15 for 4), though you're on the hook for shipping from MMC.
