I built a tilt-top, mobile assembly table. It was from Wood magazine, maybe about 8-10 months ago. The table has pivoting legs that swing down to stabilize it once it has been tilted into the horizontal position. Currently I use basic levelers on the leg bottoms. However, my garage shop is very very VERY uneven and sloped, so having to adjust the levelers is a constant PITA.
I was thinking of replacing the levelers with the Bessey in-line auto-adjust toggle clamps. Pricey at $20 per, but it seems like they would work for this purpose? Would they support the weight? I imagine the whole thing weighs about ~200lbs, plus whatever is placed on it and any downward force I might be applying in using it. *I should note that the levelers aren't intended to lift the locked casters off the ground, but rather simply provide support.
Any other auto-adjust type mechanisms that could give the same result (basically not having to adjust the leveling manually)?
