I made a roller for mine and use it to support long pieces on the drill press and milling machine.

Loosen or tighten one bolt and its off or on.

 

Thank You for sharing that. That is similar to what I currently use except i use rectangular tubing with one side cut out.

 

I use 4" channel to set on top with two pieces of flat stock set to the " V " with.
As for other goodies I used a rim with pipe upright and receiver tube welded to the pipe. This way it's portable and can be used for almost anything. Here's mine where it's used for vise, shear, ring roller, or whatever you want to stick in it.

not sure I understand how that works could you elaborate a little bit please.

 

I fill mine with concrete and put wheels on them. Like he said very handy:jester:

 

I thought the OP's question was about " Pipe Stand Adapter - Ideas Needed" not trailer hitch receiver or stands that the base was filled with concrete.

 

It is, he can use the '' pipe stand base '' and adapt the top with receiver hitch tube . Quick , easy, and functional. I didn't want to tie up a pipe stand when a simple recyclable rim is easy.
I used a rim instead of of a pipe stand base. Same stuff but different support. That's how I read

 

I think what BD1 is referring to is the channel is cut to a lentgh that is longer than the vee section. The flats are pieces to keep the channel from sliding into or off the end of the vee.

 

Balls on Mike ! You probably have some too. :drinkup:

'' I Would probably do a slight modification and thread the endplates so as to lock it down more securely without any wobble. ''

I was gonna drill holes in the flat stock and tack a nut to it to help prevent movement. I only use the channel when I use the stand for flat material to rest on.

Depending on your type of stand, you may find tube to fit so you can use the stand locking screw. Then just add a top of your choice and weld to the tube for grinder vise or whatever. So instead of receiver tube, you would have a assortment of tubes that drop into your pipe stand. There are a variety of ways to get the same results.

 

thank you for the ideas

 

My stands are home made and the center threaded rod is a 3/4" all thread. I just make different heads and weld an all thread coupler to it. I can spin one attachment off and thread another one on. You can see it on the pipe stand on the left.
