Re: Caster Upgrade
All three cam positions work perfectly . The 2" profile on the new caster is the same as the old caster. The hard rubber wheels does not move as easy as the old steel wheels. That is the only difference I have found so far. Machine still pushes fine though. :) What is thy definition of 'perfec...

Yes, please post a part number. Thanks in advance.PhilSC wrote:I got a set of casters with ball bearings from Grainger. Rated for 75 pounds each, and I didn’t have to drill any new mounting holes in the legs, and the shafts fit perfectly in the sleeves. I’ll post the part numbers later, if you like.
