Thank you for this tip! I'm building a clay wedging table (SUPER HEAVY!) so I'd purchased the casters. Being able to set two simultaneously is ideal.

This is so incredibly smart as I experience just the issue this resolves. Thanks.

Maple Bars are my all time favorite, and now you can get them with Bacon. This is a great video, I just watched one using the same type of caster and that's the first thing I thought of was the twisting. Great tip

Great idea regardless of who thought up the idea. I fitted a rail to the castors on my band saw today as soon as I saw this. Cheers

Can you take the wheels off the bench with them attached like this still? If so I will definitely be doing this

I use a 6 foot 5 double bench, how should I make the wheels?

Okay sorry for the stupid question but what is the name of that black thing ? Is it possible to buy in that shape or you do that ?

@cpeck9706 2 жыл бұрын

Great idea. What brand of casters did you use?

@married81 2 жыл бұрын

Great idea, where can I find those casters?

@AGregPalmer 5 жыл бұрын

That’s a good one. I will do this to the mobile bases I have on my machines. Also, the wood is kinder to kick than the caster levers.

What exactly are they, and where are those casters available?

@themrttttoo490 5 ай бұрын

Nice setup. I wonder if there's a way to recess the assembly under the table about 9 inches? Looks like a definite trip hazard when you're carrying a tray of paint around the table.

That's great but I can't find those castors that lock down like that. What are they called?

@richardarcher3435 Жыл бұрын

I've found out. They're called retractable castors.

It would have been nice if you had shown setting it back down again.

I can stand these types of casters. If there's a penny on the ground, or a dried smear of glue somewhere, it might as well be a mountain to the bench legs. I ended up just making my own hinging style so that I get 2.5" of clearance when the wheels are engaged. It's so easy to do, and you can use fat better casters than what these styles put on theirs.... and do it for less money.

Yup. The bigger the casters, the bigger the pebbles they’ll roll over.

Well, I'm sure you're a genius with a 200+ IQ, so you can spare the 12 point drop. Thanks for watching. ;)

Are you in Harvard or NASA? Or maybe MIT? Nevermind wherever you are part of I m so jealous of you. Unless you are sitting in your sofa all alone with your high score IQ by yourself. Then I am so sorry of you.
