Up until now I called them grease fittings. Now I have two new names. Zerk and Alemite.:D

free glides for workbench

I did the cheap free route. I used plastic coffee can lids under the legs of mine to slide the bench around whenever and just leave them in place. The weight of the bench stays in place anytime and has not moved on a wood floor or cement until I shove it. It all depends how often do you plan on moving it.

For an outfeed table for the shopsmith..I built a 28 in long table, 14 inch wide that clamped on with electric cable clips over the round rails and a dowel on the far end sticking out 3 inches each side underneath and the extension poles to support it over the dowel. easy to adjust and remove and will hold most short lengths. after that I use a roller stand for over 5 feet.

Great thought idea, thanks KW, just need to move it occasionally, like if against the wall and want 360* access to an assembly, move it away from the wall, ect. Even if I buy a set of "slider", a small cost compared to some nice castors that lock.
