Review: I bought this stand for the versatility as a roller, multidirectional ball bearing, or stationary work support, and it works great at all 3 functions. I ordered two of these; packages arrived unscathed, assembly took about 10-15min each, and the fit and finish are great. Switching the head between the roller/stationary, and multidirectional bearing surfaces is very easy with a separate notch in the head's frame at each position that the head lifts and drops into after rotation, so the head doesn't rotate between functions inadvertently during use. LET ME ADDRESS A FEW CONCERNS STATED IN REVIEWS I READ BEFORE PURCHASE: COMPLAINT #1 FROM PRIOR REVIEWERS: The stand is impossible to stand on a flat surface without wobbling. MY RESPONSE=First thing I would check, is that the legs are both completely/equally seated in the adjustable height frame before tightening down the bolt that holds the head in place. Secondly, each stand comes with a pre-installed adjustable foot on one side to compensate for uneven surfaces, whereas other brands do not provide such; if you are using the stand on a flat surface, the adjustable foot should be turned so that it is not engaged. One of my stands had no such issue after making sure both legs were equally seated in the adjustable height frame, however on my 2nd stand, one of the welds on the leg support/height adjustment frame was off by a few degrees on one side, which I was able to tweak/correct with just a couple opposing bends between the two legs after bolting them in place during assembly - now all 4 feet of the stand rest firmly on flat surfaces. COMPLAINT #2 FROM PRIOR REVIEWERS: The stand's trailing leg does not stay open when horizontal force is exerted to engage the stand rollers (ie- sliding material that is not currently on the stand, from another work surface toward the stand in order to engage the rollers/ballbearings). MY RESPONSE: First and foremost, few stands have locking legs to keep the stand in the open position, and no stand is meant to withhold horizontal force. Support stands are meant to provide vertical strength, not horizontal/lateral force! However, I can see where if you are working with a flexible material (such as 3/8-1/2" trim) that the material may flex downward as you slide it across the plane of your chopsaw/tablesaw/planer/routertable toward the stand to make contact for the vertical support, and the stand moves away from you or the legs close as you engage the rollers; few stands have solved this issue, but I find that with torquing the leg bolts down during assembly to a friction fit, the friction is enough to hold the legs in open or closed positions, yet pliable enough to allow me to open and close without excessive force....for me, this was at about 120ft/lbs of torque if you have a torque wrench; if you don't have a torque wrench, you just have to find the happy medium that works to allow you to open/close the legs but keeps them sturdy while open COMPLAINT #3 FROM PRIOR REVIEWERS: The Tapered Height System works well for preventing the support head from slipping down the shaft during use, however keeping the head parallel/level to the floor is impossible. MY RESPONSE: First, make sure the roller/support head is flush with both sides of the top of the Tapered Height Adjustment tube before tightening down the support head bolts to the tube, as there is some room for play in that part of the assembly if not careful. Secondly, the Tapered Height System was a hit and a miss on Bora's part, and with both good and bad. The Tapered Height Adjustment is an ingenious solution to the age old problem with most support stands of the height adjustment losing tention and causing the support head to lower during use, however it could've been executed better by Bora by utilizing tighter tolerances between the widths of the height adjustment channel and the sides of the tapered bar. The male/female height adjustment tubing when inserted is not tight side-to-side like most support stands, but I find this as a positive (read further). The height adjustment bar itself is only tapered from front to back, so the height adjustment handle does not require as many hand turns to tighten the set screw at lower heights, and will require more turns to tighten the set screw for higher height adjustments due to the tapered bar; the tapering from front to back is what secures the height you set the stand at and works great. The problem is that while the side-to-side width of the tapered bar and it's female counterpart measure the same from top to bottom, the tolerance between the two provides a little too much slack in automatically keeping the head parallel to the feet without adjusting for this during the height adjustment - This is only a problem -IF- the tool/bench surface you are pairing the support stand to is also parallel to the feet of the support stand/floor. Personally, this isn't such a detractor for me as my shop is situated in an attached garage with the concrete floor is slightly pitched, but I set up my workbench, table saw and planer perfectly level... So a little bit of side-side play in levelling the head of the support stand to compensate for the slight grade in my garage floor is actually necessary for me, and I can lock this down with the height adjustment screw to prevent side-side rocking some have complained about (note - some may ask why I don't use the levelling foot on the stand to solve this in my situation, but that would not work - the levelling foot is for setting the stand on uneven surfaces such as in a yard, gravel, etc, where the 4feet if the stand may not be fully engaged with the ground....if working on a flat/smooth floor, the levelling foot would do nothing but make the stand wobble if engaged.) One other thing I've noticed that doesn't necessarily detract from the stand's value, function, or quality = those seeking a multifunction stand that does not require height adjustment when switching from one function to another (ie- roller or ball bearing or stationary) will find it hard to be satisfied with any multifunction stand. While the head of the stand will rotate between the stationary, roller and ball bearing posituons, the axis of the rotation is not centered for the height of each function and varies by about 3/8"; therefore, you will have to slightly adjust the height between each function if using to support the same exact height for all functions. Again as I stated, I don't believe there is any multifunction product available from any brand that solves this problem, so I really can't say this detracts from the Bora product since there is none to compare to, but I have read some reviews where you would think that this problem does not exist with any other product, and that a standard industry resolution exists - if any of those reviewers could engineer a product to solve that problem and compete in this same price range, not only would I buy 4 of their stands to replace what I have, I'd also invest. All in all, I found this stand outperforms other brands asking twice as much $, and think you'd be hard pressed to find better quality or value in that price range.
Review: I found this product really good, I particularly like the 3 option support and that it is adjustable to any height between minimum and maximum.
