: Hi Bob,
: Just got home from Woodcraft's sale thinking I'd get a deal on
: casters; 20% off $17 a wheel!
: The non-locking are $12! I guess it's been awhile since I bought
: ball bearing casters...I will be dismanteling some roll-arounds
: I have.

: You also gave me the option to use 2 casters per stand instead of
: 4. I now need to get off the computer and start building stands.
: Thanks for your input, pics and ideas.

Jim,

I use the "cheapies" from Home Depot. One "locking" ($3.98 ea) and one "non-locking" ($2.98 es) per stand. Put the "Locking" casters on the same side so it's easier to lock/release.

No need to use the high price ones from Woodcraft or Rockler....
