timberframe50 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have secured a new location for a small rack. 1 - 2" on top and 2 - 1" on the bottom. The issue is the location has a height restriction of 48". All of my current racks are 56". Even if I use a 20" 2 inch machine I'm still over the 48". Any suggestions would be helpful.

newheart53 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I supose the only help I might be is this, Either reengineer the rack [cut and join to get your height] don't know if the location is worth altering a rack for. Or you could build a wood stand and have the three machines on one stand at required height. I guess thats what I would do, hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. If you think it will be a real money maker cut the legs down to size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I had to lower a 5 way I have. It sits underneath a counter top. I drilled new holes in the sides to lower the shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Vending Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 or if you dont want to do that put 20" big oaks on the bottom and put 300's on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 For just these 3 machines, a simple wooden shelf-stand with all three on one level is probably the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedvender Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Check and see if you can get a Kreg Joint kit from a rental place. if not you can get the one for around 100 bucks or even just the C clamp vice grip jig for about 30 bucks. It would allow you to build a nice sturdy wood stand for not a lot of money out of Pine. You didn't give any with restrictions so I would do Just a simple top and two legs If you want to add a little stability you could put a 1x4 strap across the back near the floor and use a 1x6 on top then some pilot holes and find screws for the lower strap and some finish nails for the top and it would be nice and sturdy and not cost you an arm and a leg.

I would have never thought about this, what a great idea. Thanks Everyone for your suggestions. I post a pic when I have it completed, still contemplating my options.

timberframe50 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ok as promised here is how I stayed within the 48" height restriction. I had a seaga stand, made the bar out of a piece of lumber. Total height 47" Pic is on location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
