There is always much discussion here on the subject of infeed/outfeed support. I am posting pictures of one of my flip tops from home depot. I use these with about every tool in the shop and is the only thing I use with the SS. I like them much better than the roller style due to the fact that they don't have the tendency to roll stock back at you.

They are easy and quick to set up. I keep them waxed and stock slides nicely.

Notice the gap between the level and the flip top in the first photo. As you slide the stock onto the top it flips or levels out with the work. I find these to be safe and solid work supports and between 20 and 30 bucks.

I swear by mine also. To me they are better than sliced bread. I love them.
I too use them with nearly every tool in my shop, SS, RAS, CMS, Plane, Jointer and etc.
Also they make terrific supports for tables. The manufacture supplies a pin the locks the top solid so I lay a sheet of 3'x4' ply on top and have a table that I can adjust the height of very easy. Great for finishing. Also a smooth door slab makes a great table top. I wouldn't go much wider than 3-4 foot using only one at each end but for length you can go as long as your table surface doesn't sag. With 4 you in effect have can have a leg at each corner.
They are light fold to very small package size and so far very strong.

I have a couple of those heavy cast iron based stands that have those silly ball "glides" on them. I seldom use them for anything since those ball rollers are about as useless as the proverbial unused attachments on a boar.
I had planned to make a set of roller tops for them (they are nice bases) but maybe a replicated pivot top nicely waxed would be more useful.

The balls look like this:

I save everything but when these come off they will go directly to the trash can. Pure junk.

I got this off the Ridgid plumbing forum: Alan J.08-17-2002, 10:26 PMmbcabinetmaker wrote:There is always much discussion here on the subject of infeed/outfeed support.

Finally saw the Flip Top at one of the area HD today. It was not priced but I wrote down the UPC number and had someone look it up ... $29.97. I did not get the HD SKU but the Ridgid model number is AC9933 and the UPC is 648846002323. Just thought I would pass this on in case anyone was interested.
