마감 작업을 하다보면 이리저리 움직여야 할 일이 많습니다.

또는 한 손에 마감을 위한 장갑을 꼈거나 붓과 같은 도구를 들고 있으면 손이 부족해 불편해지죠.

볼캐치 몇 개만 있으면 되는 롤러바를 활용한다면 좀 크거나 무거운 작업의 경우도 수월하게 할 수 있겠네요.

 

 

Roller Bars
Here’s a slick way to easily get access to all side of a project while working on it.

 

When I work on bulky items like large drawers and cabinets, I like to be able to rotate the workpiece for easier access to all sides of the project. My solution was to build several of these “roller bars” using 360° roller bearings (Amazon B009KASQZW). These bars are easy to make by attaching the roller bearings to a piece of “two-by” stock. A cleat fastened to one end of the bar butts against the edge of the workbench and helps to keep the bars aligned.

 

 

For smaller projects, a piece of plywood or MDF can be laid across a few roller bars and used as a platform, as shown here. If sized properly, the roller bars can also serve as table saw outfeed rollers.
