This taught me of necessity to roll in small increments, which happily gives better results. So when we moved house I was never tempted to change as space is always at a premium with fixed equipment. Much of my sheet and wire is rolled down from limited stock and offcuts, and my textures are mostly done by rolling.
My pictures show its present home, allowing the drawer to be used when the handle is out of the way. However if you have the space, go ahead and bolt it down. Dennis.
