    I just bought this cutting table, didnt put the wheels on, How can I raise it like 10 inches? Pvp wont fit on the wide side. What can I use to make it stable and not wobble when raised?

    We raised our bed frame. The same type of risers should work for the table too. We got ours at Bed Bath and Beyond. They are available in different heights.

    It says that it's 36 inches high, which would be ideal for me - are you saying that you want yours 46 inches high? Oh, no probably not, because of the difference without the casters. Could you buy larger casters, to bring it up higher?

    I'd suggest the bed risers also. I know you can get them at least 5 inches high.

    With so many casters, I'm not sure if risers would work or not. You could build a "step" up for the entire table to sit on with a lip so it won't come off. Basically a wooden box the same size as the table. make any sense at all?

    I tried the bed risers for my cutting table but the table was unstable, not enough weight on them. That's a nice table. Do you want the wheels on it?

    hey i dont want wheels on it, they dont lock so its pointless. Maybe I will go to Home depot and get some wooden blocks.

    thanks...

    What if you got those 4" fence posts and drill out the top a little bit to put your table legs into? Lowes and Home Depot will cut to the size you want. :thumbup:

    If you have one of those drill bits that cuts out holes, I would go about 6-8" in (or as deep as you think necesary) with one of them. Make the legs 16" and then do the circular cut. That puppy won't go anywhere!!
