Workbench Casters
I have a Delta Unisaw on a mobile base, the elevating wheel on the mobile base has just never worked well (for 18 years). I saw these on one of April Wilkersons’ videos. With the sale price I thought I’d give them a try. The steering end of the Delta weighed in at 249#. The pair of casters when tied together is still able to handle the weight and the saw rolls around like never before...very happy! The other two in installed on my homemade shaper table and they work excellent.

Great product !
These are GREAT !! Easy to install and work flawlessly. Try to adjust so you're not lifting your piece no more than 1/2". Higher lifts with more weight may make it more difficult to lift

Impressive Performance from these Retractable Casters
I added these retractable casters, rated at 100 lbs each, to a hard maple woodworking workbench I am building. I estimate the weight of the workbench to be nearly three hundred pounds, and these casters make it easy to move around the shop with one hand. I connected the levers on each end of the bench together with a piece of 3/4" square steel tubing, so that each end of the bench will lift and lower as a unit. It was an easy modification to prevent racking the heavy workbench by actuating one caster at a time.

Stout, easy to mount & use
Put these on a custom-made table for a very expensive 6 needle embroidery sewing machine. Combined them with four heavy duty lifting levelers to provide ease of movement and rock-solid stable base when not moving the machine. Excellent results, and far less expensive than $600+ commercially available tables!

The caster work as advertised. They were easy to install.
But it seems like every time I buy something from rockler the item goes on sale in a month. Go figure.

Need to move something big & heavy? This is it.
Worked perfectly.
I store wood on my porch of my shop. Wanted to bring unit inside to put all of my wood on it. 2W x 8L x 7T, four shelves.
Thing is big & heavy, holds a lot of wood. Moved it with a tractor 17 years ago.
Live in the country. All the city boys don’t want to come out & help me. Even though I help them, too much.
Bought this. Took an hour or so to install.

Worked great. Will get some quick release plates later for other equipment!

Following much research, these had the most favorable comments. There was a price drop that prompted my purchase. The ability to "gang" the devices together was a plus, raising one corner at a time seemed eligible to bending. My bench top is 4 laminated 3/4 inch MDF sheets (plus 1/8" hardboard top and bottom), about 23" X 64" with 4" X 4" legs, seems heavy to me; the lifters, at 100 pounds each should handle the weight.

Does anybody have any experience with the "tires" separating from the "rim"? Mine started to desolve in a million pieces, without having been overloaded or rolled through any type of chemicals.
BEST ANSWER: Purchased a set for a bench at work in a chemical plant, have had them in use at least 4 years with no problems. when I have need of this type of caster on other portable equipment and tables I buy these have 4 or 5 sets now with no trouble.

Can I get Technical specifications for this? I want to know the size of the mounting plate and the "screw holes". I'm a draftsman for theatre and I'm specing these for a piece of rehearsal scenery, but I need to know where to drill bolt holes and how/where I should place framing to support the casters.

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?
BEST ANSWER: You need to get the mounting plates set. Than you will be able to remove and replace the casters at will. I had the same problem, the casters lock into place on the plates.

Can I mount these on the inside of the bench to keep from tripping over them?
BEST ANSWER: I don't see why not. The only issue I see is getting at the lever to raise and lower the casters. it can require a lot of pressure to operate the level if you have a heavy bench.

i am using Husky 6 ft. Solid Wood Top Workbench Model legs. can i use longer screws and how low or high should i put the bracket?
Rockler Workbench Caster Kit 4 Pack
BEST ANSWER: If you need longer screws to go through the wood there is no problem, use the length you need to go all the way through the wood with about 1/2 inch to spare, this is the amount you need for the thickness of the quick release and for the nut. As for height, The box tells you to drill the holes 2 inches from the floor, and the second hole 4 inches above the floor, you should center the holes on the leg (side to side. I hope I have helped you

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.

Would it be possible to attached these to the bottom of a table saw that has metal legs? Looking to use casters to make my table saw mobile. Jet 708492K model.
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!

BEST ANSWER: You might have to drill holes in the legs for these. I've used the casters with the threaded studs that mount to the bottom of each leg.
These are the ones that I've used on 7 stands.

So is it 100lbs per caster or in total for all 4? I have a 300+ Lbs desk that I want to mount these casters to. The desk is heavy and is made of particle board. Not to mention I will be also adding tools on to the desk as well making the weight significantly greater. For my solution can someone suggest another product if these casters dont work please? My side panels are 1 1/4" wide and I haven't found any u shaped brackets with casters to work.
BEST ANSWER: You can always modify your table and make your own set of lifting casters. Norm Abram has a video on a modern assembly table for New Yankee Workshop that goes over how to do it. I would suggest beefing up the areas where the casters are going to attach. I have has trouble using the casters in 3/4 in baltic birch plywood and had to double the thickness to make the casters works.

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?
BEST ANSWER: I agree. In principal they are a great idea but if one wants to move the item repeatedly, they require a great deal of effort to engage and disengage

Has anyone tried mounting larger casters to this set? I have to mount it higher than the 2" that these specify. My requirement is that the first screw must be at least 2 5/8" off the floor. I'm thinking of putting a 3" caster on the mounts to raise the lower bolt for the quick release plate to 3 1/8". Any thoughts?
Rockler Workbench Caster Kit 4 Pack
BEST ANSWER: I had a similar problem and just mounted the caster set a little higher. It works good but just leaves your stand or whatever a little closer to the floor. Measure your clearance and just allow for that to allow space to move.

Are these suitable for a 10" Rockwell Unisaw and extension table? Or are they too meek?
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?
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.

How can I keep the casters from rolling under the legs? When engaging they will, sometimes, go underneath the workbench legs.
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.

I have an old craftsman cast iron table saw on a steel base. Think this would be able to hold the weight of the table saw? I have no idea how much it weighs.
BEST ANSWER: I have two sets of these casters, one set for a workbench I made that weighs 350-400 lbs much heavier than a saw even with a cast iron top. And the other I've used for a cabinet that holds many different portable tools the top of which holds my planer. The casters work great for both of these uses.

BEST ANSWER: I have these castors mounted on my contractor Jet table saw. Thus far they have worked well. I had to drill extra holes and use carriage bolts with lock washers. Seems to work fine.
