    Retracting casters

    I have been using heavy duty locking casters on my shop cabinets and was wanting to build a base for my Delta 14" bandsaw but wasn't sure how I would get that beast up on the base by myself.
    While perusing the Woodcraft catalog I came across the Retracting Casters for Contractor Style Saws #141550

    http://www.woodcraft.com/product.asp...&FamilyID=3703

    According to WC customer service these casters are rated for 150 lbs each for a total rating of 600 lbs.

    They are easy to install just by drilling four holes in each leg and attaching with the included hardware.

    The casters are easy to operate and raise the saw about 1/2" off the floor.

    Larry,

    Surplus Center had some "tilting casters" about a month ago that I was thinking of using for stands, but didn't get around to ordering them. I checked and they don't have them anymore, but I would look around at other places, they were about $7 a piece IIRC.
