The bracket has a hole where the caster bolts on to, so technically you can change out the casters. You have to consider that if you change the size of the tire or are using a pneumatic tire account for the change in mounting height of the bracket. On a side note, I have my mine mounted on a workbench that i roll out from my garage onto a paver driveway and it isn't smooth like a pneumatic tire might be but it gets done. Hope this helps.
yes and they work good. They are also on sale.

I want to mount these on the inside of the legs. I trip over enough stuff now as it is! I have exactly 6 inches from the floor to the underside of the crosspiece on my workbench. I know that is enough space to mount these. But will 6 inches allow the lift mechanism to come up high enough to engage the wheels? Will it be a real pain to 'step on' that lift mechanism, trying to slide my foot on there with only 6 inches clearance?

Steve- It's not very likely that this mounting arrangement will work. When the wheels are retracted, the wheel engagement lever flips up well above the caster mounting, probably already very close to 6 inches from the floor. With your foot thickness at about 2 inches, I really doubt that you'd be able to depress the lift mechanism if you mount them on the inside of the legs with your crosspiece.

As long as you mount them so that they don't conflict you can put them on any side you want (i.e. don't put one pair on a side and the other pair on the end - you have to do end/end or side/side so that it will roll together.
That said, I'm not happy with mine... the casters are just too small unless you have a perfectly smooth floor.

One thing I should note is that they extend about 4" out from what they are mounted on so your base could be pretty narrow if you mount them on the inside. You'll want to make sure this doesn't cause it to be unstable.
You'll also want to make sure you can get to them to lift/lower the wheels.
You'll also want to make sure you can get to them to lift/lower the wheels.
I think you could, but unless the inside of your leg area is clear it will be a pain in the neck to use them...also makes the base of your workbench less stable when up on the wheels...

BEST ANSWER: Yes, you can. I just did it. If the legs are not vertical you may need some angle spacer blocks (I just did it), then drill holes into the blocks, then into the legs. I used bolts, of two different lengths, to attach mine. Works like a champ!

If you shop around, you can also find ones that are set up to be used explicitly with contractor saws and are suitable angled. The shims would load the wheels and frame in a way that would derate them from full load

It would be difficult to attach them directly to the metal legs. You could build a 2x4 frame , attach the legs to that and the casters to the vertical sides of the 2x4s. Better option would to be to buy a base designed to be used with a table saw from Rockler or another source such as Sears.

My garage floor is so unlevel, to get out feed table level with table saw there is a 1 3/4" gap from bottom of bench to floor on 1 side and 1" gap on other side (currently using leg levelers). Will these still work to lift out feed table of leg levers and roll around?

BEST ANSWER: They lift about 3/4" -- my floor is also uneven, so once I put my workbench in place, I sometimes need a wedge to level it. You could also use adjustable feet but it was recommended to me not to use them on a a work bench because of the pounding it might take.

I have a set of these casters and they lift my 300 pound sjobergs workbench just fine. But when it comes time to lower the bench back to the floor, I have to use a Fastcap jack to flip them up. I can't do it with steel-toed boots, It would be nice if there were a way to softly lower the bench, so its weight doesn't cause it to slam down to the floor once the "flipper" is disengaged. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution?

Are these suitable for a 10" Rockwell Unisaw and extension table? Or are they too meek?
Guswah
on Apr 21, 2017
BEST ANSWER: These casters have a load rating of 100 lbs each, with a total load rating of 400 lbs for the set. If your Unisaw is within that limit you're ok - check with Rockwell to be sure if you don't know your saw wt. That said, these casters are heavy duty and well made. I have them on my work bench which is made out of a 3" thick maple top, 24" x 72". It's pretty heavy but not 400 lbs.

what is the width of the bracket - or what is the minimum width of the table legs?
Reinhard B
on Oct 10, 2015
BEST ANSWER: The part of the bracket that rests on the leg is 49mm wide. The "arms" that extend out add a few millimeters on each side, but, again, the part on the leg is only 49mm wide.
If you don't mind the bracket extending out past the leg, the screw holes are centered on the bracket, so you can actually get away with a much smaller leg if needed.

The width of the bracket is 2 inches with one hole centered at top and bottom. The height is about 3 inches. A 2" leg would be a minimum, although it might work slimmer but would extend on the sides.

How can I keep the casters from rolling under the legs? When engaging they will, sometimes, go underneath the workbench legs.
A Regular Guy
on Mar 22, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Good Question! I have had problems with this myself. To alleviate some of the problem, I installed the wheel brackets 1/2" higher on the leg than the instructions indicate. This still gives you 1/2" clearance under the legs when the wheels are locked and stops the wheels from curling under in most rolling situations. As soon as you lift up on the workbench, though, the wheels still try to roll under.

Thanks, Bill. I installed mine 1/4" higher for a little better leverage. I am going to see about fashioning a block to place on the leg just below the caster in hopes that can keep it from rolling under. Other than that I'm very pleased with the strength and glide of them.

Don't know if I can answer your question as I have not had the problem. One thing I did was to mount the caster far enough up the bench leg so that the bottom of the bench leg was only about 1/4 of an inch off the floor when the caster was down. This and possibly the weight of the bench keep your problem from happening.

Not far, maybe an inch or so. Not sure why you ask, but this small distance created aroblem for me when I attempted to install them on my Czech Aviya workbench. On this model, the bench legs are resessed from the feet edges, thus installing these wheels on the legs meant that the wheels rested on the feet when lowered, hence were useless. However, the fix is rather easy....just install a wooden spacer of the needed thickness on the leg and then mount the wheel on this.

BEST ANSWER: I use them for the same application. I applied them to a 40 year old radial arm saw. They work well for that. I used one existing hole on each leg and had to drill one more They allow me to move the saw around my shop when in use and push it in the corner when not in use. My shop is actually my garage.

Of course, use machine screws and nuts. Washers and lock washers help.

would 8 casters be strong enough to support up to 800 lbs? i'm looking for something that could safely support at least 500 lbs.

BEST ANSWER: I wouldn't suggest it. I think it would be too difficult to raise and lower and I doubt the screws would keep it attached. You would definitely need to bolt it and even then it may pull through wood. There's a lot of torq placed on them when raising and lowering.

Overall a great buy and a must have
I want everyone to know that I have read every comment that good or bad that was written on here, as I research everything to death. My first thought was that they was really expensive but casters are high in general but I ha e to say that these are an absolute must buy for a work bench. I can lift my bench in seconds and easily move it around like its nothing. Rockler has great products and I'm definitely a happy customer

Perfect for Moving Heavy Benches.
I use them to move my heavy 300 lb. woodworking bench around. I can just jack up the bench, move it, set it back on its feet in just a couple of minutes.

Great product, makes my bench more usable.
Highly recommend!
If, like most of us, your shop isn’t as large as you’d like, some things get pushed to the back. Having to drag it out for a small task makes you stupid things. This was the case with my woodworker workbench. It makes the job so much easier, but I’d rather use a couple of clamps than go through the hassle of moving the bench.
No more!
This is a great product gets me to use my bench more often. Very easy to install and very easy to use.
Highly recommend!

Great Casters for a smaller workshop
These casters are very nice and work well on all the bench workstations and workbenches in my small shop. I use these with the Quick-Release Caster Plates that are mounted on 3-separate work stations. These allow me to reconfigure the floor space quickly to optimize work on each project. I have had no problem moving a 300 pound workbench.

Workbench Caster Set
I had just acquired a lightly used Ulmia work bench and it took 3 of us to load and unload it from my truck so I knew I was going to need some way to move it around in my shop so these were the logical choice. They work as advertised and are easy to install, BUT, order the caster plates (one set for every bench in your shop) as they are what makes these casters so handy. Only complaint is the lack of an instruction sheet, its printed on the end of the box they come in where its not readily visible. So don't just dump the parts on your bench and throw the box away.

Rockler work bench caster kit
I have a very small shop. When I use a tool another has to move. This caster set is a perfect solution to moving a heavy bench. Works really well, glides effortlessly to a new location and back again. I highly recommend these to anyone in my position.

Works exactly as advertised
I use the casters to move a heavy router table/cabinet combination which has several drawers for storage of router bits and router accessories. The casters are easily engaged or disengaged. I installed a set of the Quick Release Caster Plates on the cabinet base to facilitate removal of the casters when they are not required, or when they are going to be required on another cabinet somewhere else (which I am building now).
Yes, I would recommend this product.

More than just for benches
I put four of these on my work bench and was so please with the installation and usability. I can now "park" my work bench off to the side of the garage and then move into the center for larger pieces and greater flexibility.
due to an injury my wife incurred, I built a small ramp to fit over the front stairs (3 steps). From time to time, I need to move it to clean underneath the ramp. I installed four of these on the support posts and I can easily move the ramp the few feet I need to clean under the original location of the ramp.
These assemblies are good quality, easy to install and work well.

Casters work great
I purchased these caster to add to the large workbench I purchased from Rockler. They installed fairly easily and add the flexibility I was looking for for the work bench.
I would recommend these for use on any workbench you would want to easily move around your shop.

Works just as I hoped and expected on my garage work bench. Easy to install and use.
Just bought a second set (with the brackets that allow for easy removal) for a large platform bed.

Workbench Caster Set
This product was purchased to make a Ridgid band saw mobile. The casters were easy to install and even could make use of a hole already punched in the leg of the band saw base. Easy install and worked great, I'll be purchasing another set for my Ridgid jointer.

Workbench Mobility
These casters are perfect for my workbench that I can move around my shop. Heavy duty construction makes them ideal for this purpose. I also purchased the caster plates , so if I want take the casters off all I have to do is pull a pin on each to remove them. Makes my shop very mobile and with limited space it is a great fit.

I have a workbench that my weigh over 300lbs.
Impossible to move alone.
15 minutes after these castors arrived and I added a 1/2" solid aluminum bar across the levers and now I can dance around the shop with my work bench with one hand!

awesome casters
Used these with the mounting plates so that I can move them from workbench to workbench. I rarely move my workbench so I did not want to attach them permanently. They easily held the weight and my heavy workbench glides easily on these. The only thing you want to take note of is the racking of your bench as you lift each corner individually. To overcome this I placed a 2x4 over the 2 casters on each end and pressed down on the 2x4 to lift both casters on the side at the same time.

Mobile workbench
I have a *old* Boeing Surplus meeting table I was using as a workbench top on top of a cheapy Craftsman workbench (light-gauge steel+particle board top).
I adapted a workbench design from Family Handyman, and wanted retractable casters to make the bench movable, so after some research, opted for the Rockler Caster set.
I attached a steel square tube to the casters, to allow me to lift/lower two casters at a time (see photos).
So far - the casters have been working great! Highly recommended.
Thanks,
Stan Matsui
