Good day
I had it long time in my head and today I did it.
For the center part I used two 1-9/16" counter top boards (chipboard covered with Formica) and for the sides 3/4" plywood covered with Formica (everything from left-overs).
As Vertical rollers I used iron rollers (just found them in the drawer) but if you are planning to roll it on the table, use the plastic ones.
If you are going to make it, may I advise that, first, cut only ONE center part (this 1-9/16" chipboard).
I cut it to 1/8" wider than required and then, trimmed it, 1/32" at a time, till I got the Horizontal rollers almost fit to the fence without turning the "Bolts".
Then, without changing the rip fence position cut the second 1-9/16" board to get 100% fit with the first one.
The travel, is limited by your fence length (maybe I'll make longer fence).
It's rolling nicely without any side play and the test results (on the pics) were excellent...now I have to find some project...
I thing that I can use it also to make "Raised Panel"
Of course it not limited only to the TS and it can "Roll" also on the router table.
And the rest is on the pictures
