Can anyone recommend a quality brand of casters?
Last winter I was pushing my TS around the shop when one of the casters on the Shop Fox mobile base gave way. OK, no big deal. The casters were almost 20 years old and plastic gets brittle with time. I ordered the exact replacement set from Grizzly with the brand name Steelex, and figured I had another couple decades before I'd have to replace them again.
Well, last night I was repositioning the saw and suddenly it became harder to push and sure enough a caster had split just like it had before.
Replacing these things on a 500# machine is a PITA and I don't want to have to do it again.
Any suggestions?
