three sections....

Re: Telescoping pipe sizes

I wanted to have three sections for more height adjustment.
I found a piece of 1” round so I put that in 1”pipe, in 1-1/4”
pipe. I wound up with something like 18-43” of height adjust-
ment.

Re: Telescoping pipe sizes

I use 1" pipe inside of 1-1/4" box tube for my shop stands. Since the seam in box tube is off center the pipe can be a good fit with the right box wall thickness and both are cheaper then seamless box tube, or dom tube.

I give up!

Used 2 stick of dom to make the hoist for my receiver hitch, it will extend to 10’ in height

Re: Telescoping pipe sizes

Yes, we did a demo job and I salvaged the blind flange. I use this all the time for light work. I made it for a quick adjustment stand for my HF 4x6bandsaw and my permanent mount portaband.

Pipe clamp slider would be pretty slick. I may use that.
I saw a pipe stand yesterday that used a similar arrangement.
Is that base a blind flange?

Doesn't matter if it is an inside member.

Edit. Oops I see whtbaron already mentioned this.

I never thought of mounting it upside down... mine is loose at the base to allow the table to swing sideways, which comes in really handy sometimes with the x/y vise.

Yea, that seems high for a lot of jobs unless you cut the bottom down, and then you lose adjustability. I might have to make one next winter just to see how it goes...

Safety first.

Some of us guys work alone all day in the shop and what we “should have” is a helper…..

Re: Telescoping pipe sizes

2 3/8 oilfield tubing fits inside of 2 7/8 oilfield tubing. Real common around West Texas, but maybe not so plenty where you are.

2" schedule 40 pipe will also fit inside 2 7/8 tubing. There is no seam in the tubing, It is plenty strong for a jack stand.

I frequently find damaged jacks being tossed , some of which
are only damaged at the swivel mount bracket thing. Mostly top
crank type though.Also occasionally find 7/8 - 1 1/4 threaded
studs and nuts being discarded. They could be used for fine
adjustment, although not Acme thread.

I would just buy what you need and do it right.
