what is the purpose of the red end on folding wood rule

There is a sliding brass extension marked in inches etc as on the main rule , it is very useful for accurate internal measurements ie cupboards and and alcoves

There is no functional reason for the red. Just advertising. But you do understand the use of the brass bar, right? You may respond to capnjohn@hughes.net.

When you are measuring on the inside of something(example window) and need an exact measurement you open the ruler to less than 6 inches of opening and place it to one side, then extend the metal piece on the red end over to the other side and add that measure on extension to the reading on the ruler for final measurement

It's there to help stabilize the corkcicle - the tip fits in the intention along the side so it doesn't move around.

Thats a hard question.. It gets small... like when you fold A4 paper 3times in horizontal.. Something like that

There is a small plastic piece that snaps over the 2 ends to prevent fraying.

I have no idea. I thought it was for simple small enlargements that could be hammered out using a rawhide mallet.

I have no idea, but I can tell you, I found it a great help in organizing one of my kitchen cabinets. I used to stack waxed paper, foil, freezer wrap, etc. on top of one another. This was a terrific find and ended frustration with 'toppling' boxes!

The leaves add on the ends of the table and not into the middle. Two wooden supports extend out of each side to support each leaf. The leaves then lock onto the table with a latching mechanism underneath.

the "y" at the top is to enclose the cords of the hammock mess and the hooks at the bottom are points of attachment for the hammock ends... this rest is for specific types of hammocks .. not just any hammock...south american type

The ends are open, so bookends may be needed or stack books. The ends are open.

The wood does have a bit of a red undertone that MIGHT clash with espresso colored furniture.

I built one in December. About 3 bolts need to be loosened for it to fold but it does. The assembly instructions are not good but if you lay all the pieces out on a table it becomes obvious. I was able to use this successfully to cut up a large amount of 3 - 8 inch diameter branches from a maple tree, but think it would work fine for larger if you have two persons to lift into place.

I am sorry, I do not know. I bought this for my husband & I know he did change the ends. Unfortunately he passed away 6 months ago. I don't know what he did. Sorry.

I wondered the same thing, J. Schor. I'm guessing it means the buttons on top to lock each side when open. That makes sense to me, since they do have an important function in keeping it from collapsing when in use. It also helps to close the unit for putting into your auto or for storage.

Wood block is used only if you are hanging horizontally. Use it to hold the body of the guitar so it is raised from the bottom

It means that the legs fold along the bottom of the table. The table itself does not fold in half. That being said, it is still a really great table. We are very happy with our purchase! And...you can easily roll the table from location to location when moving it in and out of storage. Great table!

In case you have different sizes of table thru-hole openings. The extra piece is to use to properly fit the pole going through the table.

The table is cast iron and flat. The fence is sturdy with slots for attaching an auxiliary fence for re-sawing large pieces. With a good re-saw blade such as the 1/2" Wood-Slicer' available at Highland Woodworking, it will work very well, assuming you take the time to set it correctly. I've also used it with a 1/4" blade for bandsaw boxes and other intricate cuts with good results. There are other good 14" bandsaws but none for the price of the Rikon. If you have never owned or used a bandsaw then you are missing out on a tool that is fun to use. Best of luck in your selection. The table is cast iron and flat.
