Aligning a roller stand on a bumpy floor is so tedious, I can see the attraction of extending the thickneser bed with a roller at each end. You sometimes see planers (edit ie. surfacer) with them giving an extra 2x200mm or so. Assuming they are properly aligned, how much do they improve the machine's ability to produce a long flat surface? Or do they just make handling longer stuff a bit easier?

what having end support does is reduce the sniping at each end. what you might find more useful is to make fold down tables for each end with one adjustable centre leg. or of course a spare sled paul  |

That would be for the thicknesser bed, so feed rollers hold down long stuff better?
What about extension rollers on surfacing tables tho'? (Seen from time to time in ads/reviews)

When I bought my Scheppach 260 I had the option of having with either the cabinet base or surfacer extension roller supports in with the price. I opted for the roller bars, they increase the bed from 32" to 50", are fully adjustable and are very solid. They really do come in handy for longer heavier stock.
