Router table wheels

Thank you, I'm sure someone will take you up on your offer, it's a shame to throw away perfectly good items, there is a limit when you seriously have to stop hoarding:)

I like the castors with built-in levelling feet because it will make it easy to move the machine gently somewhere else, maybe for maintenance and easy access, or maybe to create more space for other things when not in use, who knows! The beauty is that you can then settle it down and have a proper stable table, which should be sturdier than swivelling castors.

can you get away with not having to bolt the machine to the floor with these?

If you're in still in the market in the next couple of days, I *should* have a set of the third largest (No. 3 of 4) of the Aim Tools link earlier, I can offer a personal view pre/post fit onto the lathe, together with pics and/or video.

Edit: and here they are:



Keys shown for scale. I was worried with the purpose of the Phillips screws near the castors - these just stop the heavy axle dropping out of the foot - not at all load bearing. Nylon foot is solid.



Quite chunky on the Myford - but solid. I did a quick level just to see how stable they are and they are leaps-and-bounds better than the feet that they replaced. A proper level can wait until it's warmer. The castors are solid and I would now consider the installation portable.

I just wish I'd painted them battleship grey before installing!
