Or SS never photo copied the templet for the complete castor kit. It is all kind of strange. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
I can't tell you when but I can assure you that the paper template was at some time corrected. I had one of the bad photocopies; unfortunately, I must not have kept it. I received a correct copy from SC and still have it. I took measurements from that copy to make my wooden template. Unfortunately, I did not keep that either. Now I have two sets of wheels to mount. and only a paper template.

Incidently, this photo copy SNAFU was a long time ago. Must we drag up this sort thing for extended discussion on the forum.
Yes it was but, the OP said he had a problem with the paper copy of the templet so...

He also said the error was on the order of 1/8" and that was not typical of the photo copy issue. That sounds more like something that would go wrong in my shop.

OK, I don't remember what the original error was so I defer to you.
