(For vaguely comparable context/comparison)
I recently replaced some crappy (single pole) casters on my miter saw table. I found a set of four on Amazon for about $25. They are quite nice, very solid, attach by 4 screws each, have 4" hard rubber wheels, swivel and all have brakes which is very nice for making the table stable when stationary.
- rahimnathwani 7y agoA few years ago I needed to replace 2 of the 4 casters on my filing cabinet. I lived in China at the time, and bought new casters on Taobao. The total cost for 5 casters, including delivery, was 35 RMB, equivalent to around 6 USD.
- tengbretson 7y agoHaving recently learned this lesson myself the hard way with my table saw, I'll definitely echo that its important to have casters that have both a wheel lock AND a swivel lock.
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoSwivel lock by itself is fine on four wheeled objects because you can lock the casters at different angles so no one caster can roll without making the others slide. It's rare to find casters that are swivel lock but not wheel lock since it's easy to make a mechanism that does both.
