Making a chair sit flat

Find a flat surface. (Top of a tablesaw would be good). Put your chair on the surface. Put a piece of course sand paper grit side up between the top and the chair-leg-that’s-to-long and sand it down until all four legs are even. (You might have to do this to more than one leg…but you get the idea).

A+ Thanks Max It worked perfectly, Only took a couple of passes along the saw to make them flat as can be.

But sometimes you need a crooked chair if the floor demands it. Wink

A much faster way is a tip from a video I saw (but can’t remember where).
You set the tablesaw blade just slightly protruding above the table and you pass the chair-leg-that’s-to-long over the spinning blade. Waaaay faster than sandpaper..lol

lol Brian. If I did it that way the legs would probably be only six inches long befoe I got it right.!!

Thjat’s fine if you just have to even one leg.
Check out my review of the MultiMaster and the SonicCrafter if you have to shorten all 4 legs.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

What about adjustable feet, just for those times the floor isn’t flat either? Costs more but not much. Just my .02, BTKS
