Casters

Canary · April 2012

Howdy all.

I have an XL in a large table (72", two levels). Needless to say, the table made mush of my rubber-tire wheels. I need to add casters and wonder what other table-builders have put on the bottom of 4x4 posts (noting that 4 actually means 3.5). I need casters that can support in the 500lb range.

Thanks for your advice!

This place has every caster you can dream of and they are good to deal with.

Fastenal, where did the edit thing go?

McMaster-Carr, Woodcraft, Rockler all have casters.

I bought 4, 360-degree swivel, locking, braking, neoprene tire casters (supposed to be better for concrete). Weight capacity = 250# / caster.

Not cheap, but should definitely do the job.

HTH,

I got these at Lowes. 300 lb rated each. Hope this helps. I'm in the process of building my table at this time.
