New casters
Received my new casters and installed them today. It a great improvement. Also put my new Incra miter gauge together, and this one had the holes in it, not like the 1st one I had to send back.

I may do a caster upgrade someday but for now I need to do the flip upside down on sawhorses and relube many of mine at the swivel. I think I could get excited about a caster with a sealed thrust bearing at the swivel. Even the casters with ball bearings at the swivel get dust and grit in those swivel bearing races and makes them harder to guide the thing across the floor. Oiling helps for a while but then just collects more dust and grit.
The Shopsmith is not too bad because of the easy flip over on sawhorses but a tall set of shelves with a load of tools on it is a pain.
It's always nice when things go right.

I did not equip with Shopsmiths in spite of the setups but because of them.
