Bar rail specs on plans don’t match Rockler specs

[Anonymous]

The only low profile bar rail offered buy Rockler (part #34092) has a run of 2 7/8″ and a rise of 1 11/16″.

My question is why do the plans suggest a run of 3″ and a rise of 1.5″

The tech support person at Rockler had no knowledge of the Easy Home Bar Plans and passed me back to you.

Thanks for any info you can provide–I don’t want to order the rail and have to return it.

I bought this as a tester bar rail (2 ft piece): http://www.kegworks.com/traditional-woo … p=nextopia and it fit very well. The 3 inch length fit fine. Only adjustement was moving my bar top board (not permenanetly attached yet) forward less than 1/4″ to make more snug into the bar rail. Even though they have a height of 1 1/4″ in their diagram, it still fit with my height of 1 1/2″. Why/How? I couldn’t tell you…can only say it fits…
Their delivery is quick 2-3 day turnaround. I ordered my two 8 ft pieces Friday and FedEx tracking has delivery scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday).
With their delivery fee, they were about $20 more than Rockler for the two 8 ft pieces, but since I got my test piece from them, I stayed with them.

Because if you look at Rockler’s spec sheet, it clearly shows that mounting arrangement.
Also, the 1/8″ difference will not be any problem. If it is in your case, just trim the edge as needed.
Simple as that!

If you remain unsure, by a sample and adjust your bar top as needed. It’s usually not needed.

I NEVER trust the dimensions they claim. Always buy a sample first.
