I am need of some rubber bumper feet for my cutting boards. I found a supplier that can sell me 1440 bumpers for $165.03. That is about $.12 per bumper. I don’t think I can ever use 1440 of them though. So would anybody like to go in with me on this? I would like to try and get 4-5 people to reduce the price to about $40 each and still get a couple 100 bumpers. Here is the link to the bumpers that I have been looking at:

Please send me a message if you are interested.

Now I know some of you who make cutting boards say not to use feet, this way both sides of the boards can be used. I agree, but I have customers requesting them, so I need to have them available.

Indy:

I may very well be interested. See how many responses / cost / etc you come up with.

they do sell by the ‘sheet’
something like 72 for $30

How well do those bumpers stick to a cutting board since they have adhesive backing? I have never made a cutting board…but it would seem to me that washing it would cause a problem with the addhesive backing..

I usually get stainless screws and screw the rubber feet on. I dont trust the adhesive backing. Stainless steel screws work great.

Also, I have thought about the sheet for $30. But I could use more than 72, so I thought a few of us could go in and get more…..alot more for our money.

I usually buy mine from McMaster Carr with a metal washer embedded. They can be screwed down well and the screw won’t pull thru the hole.

here is what i use
for boxes and cab doors and drawers
just drill a 3/16” hole
and they pop right in

they do have some casting slag (minimal)
but a swipe with some sandpaper
and it’s done
they can be replaced and taken out
if needed for any future refinishing
