OK so all of these things use the same idea. Namely heavy duty, affordable, adjustable feet for any table bench or jig. Simply get a hold of some 1"-8 x 2-1/2" bolts and the nuts to match. Here in NC we have a scrap metal place that sells them for about 50 cents a piece,for the nut and bolt. The nut is the perfect size flat to flat to slip into 2" square tubing that is 3/16 wall thickness. The only other thing you have to do is to cut / sand off two opposing corners of the nut until it will slip into that same 2" tube.
Then just weld the nut in place, screw in the bolt, and you have a heavy duty adjustable leg for any Bench or Jig or Table. Additionally you can drill through the side of the leg where the nut is and then tap the hole (1/4-20 would do nicely) insert a small round of brass and a quarter twenty bolt and be able to make sure the foot does not turn when you are dragging the bench or what ever, anywhere you want, or you could buy a few additional nuts and use them as locking nuts. The whole idea is to have a heavy duty adjustable foot for what ever you want and not have to pay through the nose for it. I mean 50 cents for each adjustable foot is pretty damned cheap for this sort of thing, and it will take literally tons of weight. I have included a few pictures of some of the uses I have put these rascals to. you will notice that the small stand next to the tube bender is partly on the metal pedestal and partly on the cement floor, with adjustable legs this is easy to still have a level surface, without them... not so much.
