Anyone replace the feet on their 510/520 table extension legs? One of mine was missing when I got it. It looks like it should be able to accept the feet from some crutches...which should also increase grip and stability.
Someone done this? If so, are there any places that would sell this type of thing locally, or am I probably stuck mail order?

Hardware store(not a big box store). Be sure to get 7/8" size. Drug stores tend to be pricier. The smaller type work well since the 'load' is almost entirely 'vertical' when set up properly.damagi wrote:Anyone replace the feet on their 510/520 table extension legs?

Our Wally world has them. No, wait, that was last week... 
They have probably moved them out to make room for the Halloween candy...

Thanks for the tips. I was able to find appropriate feet at Home Depot.
In examining the one foot that was still on the legs, it seems that there is a washer that shopsmith (or the previous owner) put in the foot to prevent tearing out the foot. Appears to be a 7/8" OD washer. I will probably put in that sort of washer to be safe.

The washer is there to distribute the load from the end of the tube over a greater area. They are 'standard ss'.damagi wrote:Thanks for the tips. I was able to find appropriate feet at Home Depot.
