Although the outfeed table of the planer jointer was enough length to flatten boards, the longer ones tended to fall at the rear table and I made the decision of adding a roller that would stick about 25 cm. That outfeed roller should lock tool-free and store on the rotating overarm.

I made a plywood template then drew the forms on a remnant aluminium plate that had already provided that sanding disk. I roughly cut the shapes with a jigsaw and a metal blade at the lowest speed stroke, without pendulum. After drilling some countersunk holes along the two holding arms, I screwed the aluminium piece on the template and routed the form on the spindle moulder with a copy bit so that getting two identical arms.

The beech roller came from an unused rolling pin. I sawed the ends to reduce the length and stuck two plywood rings where I drilled a centre hole to recreate an accurate axis for the drum. Then I made a fixture so that the power drill slowly rotated the roller as I slid the workpiece through the working tool. The stop screwed at the end of the fixture enabled fine parallel adjustment and an adjustable bevelled cutter head machined an almost perfect cylinder.

Here are the details. The two aluminium arms pivot around the rip fence tube and slide between the table and that solid tube. Then their protruding stop locks the roller flush to the table top. The wooden spacer shaped as a handle helps for the lifting and replacement of the outfeed roller as well as the hanging on the near overarm when not used.

The outfeed roller can also lengthen the sanding table and the two photos also show the multi-extension table, here used as infeed table.
