I decided that I need to take a short break from the lathe and do some organizing in my small shop. What I want to do is make a lathe chisel rack. My plan is to have it set on top of my bench and pushed up close to the wall behind the bench. On the left side the rack will be connected to a one or two inch round post. The idea is that when I want to turn wood I can rotate the tool rack towards my lathe at the end of the bench, post remains stationary but the other end will swivel away from the wall. I don't want to drag the rack across the top of my bench but rather have it 'glide' across the top of the bench. I don't know if small 1" swivel casters would work but ideally a low profile ball bearing something or another that is mounted under the rack. High profile is okay if that is all there is.
Does anyone have any idea of that I need to look for? What would work? Should I just use swivel casters, and if so will they change direction to go back and forth if there is no lateral movement in the rack?
Thanks.
