Total Lock Shop Stand Casters

This is THE answer to a locking caster system for power tool bases. I attempted to build one for my radial arm saw using individual standard hardware store locking casters and wasted about the same $ that this set cost. Moral-don't waste time and money re-inventing the wheel.

I put these on a router table which had two fixed casters and one movable and now I can move it anywhere with no trouble.

I have four sets of these casters on tools ranging from a 14" bandsaw to a 2'x6' workbench/router table. The advantage of a locked stem in addition to a locked wheel is a much more rigid base. I'm very well satisfied with these casters.

My vintage Sears jointer had old, inferior casters. These installed very quickly, without any modifications, and now the machines is a pleasure to move around. Quiet, smooth, a huge improvement. I ordered another set for my router table.

I'm using the set of wheels on an old Delta Bench Saw which is mounted on a stand I didn't get from Rockler.When first mounted the flat part on the bottom of two of the legs bent upwards.This was remedied by cutting a piece of 3/4 plywood, drilling matching holes and re-securing the casters to the whole rig.Works great in a small shop which had to be re-floored with mismatched thicknesses of scrap plywood to be usable at all. No problems rolling and the wheels lock solid.For those complaining about space to put a wrench while tightening the nut - I just locked the brake and turned the whole assembly to run the nut down, then held it while I turned the nut sufficiently to bring the end of the shaft even with the top of the nut. Worked just fine.
