    Thanks Randy!

    I did the easy pressure roller mod today, except I user Copperhead BB's instead of sand or lead shot. My rear pressure roller now weighs in at 7lbs up from the ~4lbs stock weight. I got the BB's at Gander Mountain for about $10.00 http://tinyurl.com/copperheadbbs

    Here are some photos of getting the BBs in. My end caps had a ton of CA glue on them so I opted to drill a hole one end cap. If you can I recommend taking off the end caps, the process of filling the pipe will be a lot faster that way.

    Nice job Meistertek!
    This is a great Mod indeed, thank you for sharing.
    I think when I try to cut lite plywood I may need more weight.

    Great idea with the bb's. 7lbs. is pretty good.
