Vornado feet. Found a way to make my own


Recommended Posts

I bought some Poly Tube that is solid poly. Its hard but soft enough it grabs the surface where the fan sets. The poly tube comes in about 20 inch length. I first tried to cut it with a razor knife. Too hard to do. I then tried my chop box, Too much head and it melts. then I tried a saw. Small miter hand saw. Still too hard to control. I ended up using my PVC pipe cutter that is a ratchet razor cutter. Worked out well. A bit of learning curve but after a few cuts it worked well. then I drilled a hole in the center on slow speed so not to melt the poly. Used the same steel washers that came off the fan and a pop rivet. works good.

Next time try freezing the piece before cutting with a saw. Works like a charm with rubber. 
 

would you mind sharing a link to the tubing? That’s a great idea.
