Quoted from mamawaldee:The hydraulic cylinder is just uncontrollable on decent.
There should be a large nut on the release assembly that you adjust 1/4 turn at a time to control the descent.
Make sure you adjust carefully WITHOUT your fingers in harms way when it comes down too fast, since you will have to test it with a load.
Quoted from ForceFlow:There is a metal arm on each side of the table's scissor support that can swing down to prevent the table from coming down all the way.
Yes, but you adjust, test, adjust, test.....it's easy to get lazy and bypass the safety bar.....
Quoted from d0n:It feels much higher quality than the harbor freight ones and it lifts 50 inches high!
Wow, that's really high up when it tips over!!!!
That thing needs outriggers, lol.
Quoted from Pin_Guy:I like the idea of the locking cam levers, but buying 2 of the ones you linked will cost more than the entire lift table.
they are $8 at Woodcraft:

$1.25 shipped on Ebay:

Quoted from BorgDog:That's just crazy, how can they possibly do that?
That's China for ya; Woodcraft is probably paying .15 cents in bulk
Quoted from harryhoudini:Be careful with the quality of the cam lever. It has to be large and sturdy as it is providing all of the tension to hold those smooth end eye's from slipping.
Exactly.
5/16" is 8mm, so the shafts are a little beefier than the 6mm from Amazon.
(if the holes are 1/4" (6mm) on the Biminies, you may have to drill the holes out to 5/16" for the larger shafts to fit. I can't find the hole size in the Amazon description....)
Quoted from harryhoudini:The stuff I posted above from Amazon is 8mm.
My phone must be screwing the link up, because your link keeps going to a M6 cam lever (The "M" designation for metric screws indicates the nominal outer diameter of the screw, in millimeters (Ex: a M6 screw has a nominal outer diameter of 6 millimeters).
I'll try it on a desktop latter when I'm done with work.
