Google McMaster Carr

Go to their HUGE catalog (they sell 480,000 items)

Search "Swivel Level" and it will take you to the first page for this "type" of leveling foot.... which is on their page 1350... then you can toggle through from there - and the ones that were posted look like the version on page 1354...

There are "hundreds" when you look at the SIZES --- which is why I didn't post a particular part number.

Looking last night for levelers and found a couple additional sources.

Sunnex has a full line of nice stuff. Check the mounts section - about 6 different kinds.

http://www.sunnexonline.com/mounts

Also here:

www1.MSCDirect.com floor locks section

You could also do a home built deal with a 5/8's threaded rod through a sleeve tube , couple nuts, washers, and a rubber/nylon foot. Weld the lower nut to the bottom of the sleeve and maybe weld a cheap 3/8's or 1/2 inch socket to the top. Just a thought give this economy....

Here is mine. It's 56" by 36". 3/4" top plate. I plan on doing something to be able to set up jigs, but have not gotten that far just yet.
I used angle iron flipped outwards, for the top rails and support instead of square tubing. That gives me a nice clamping overhang. Lockable casters as well. I try to keep everything mobile in my shop, so that my space if more flexible. I can manuever everything to suit the job.

Nice work !

Another good idea with the angle iron. You could also use that concept and attach a couple to the side rails and you could clamp c-clamps on to it.

Couldn't find a bigger vise ??

Thx ! Jim

I broke the last one I had beating on it, so I stepped up a little. But it's not really the big, the pic makes it look that way.

I like that cutting table greg has. I'll have to keep my eyes open for some grating material to make ono of those.

I was just messing with yah, back in the cave man days of printed catalogs you also had to indicate which catalog number you were using along with the page number. There web site is much easier to use. Oh and I hope I didn't offend any cave men!

Honestly you people have got to stop. I don't need any more projects. I have a truck to build!

@Chad

After I quickly went to get you more info -- I re-read your post and realized you were tugging my chain... but had already hit the submit button.

Note that the SUNNEX is a BRAND -- can't order from them - after checking out their website - which has killer stuff - they refer you to a "supplier" -- one of which is McMaster Carr... LOL

@JIM

Agree with you - leg levelers are something a guy can make - most likely, out of stuff laying around the shop... if you can't make a table - and some type of leveling -- you should probably stop and take your car to a shop, right? LOL
