Casters for classic cabinet?

Pages: (1/4) > >>

TurboC--:

Anyone know what type of casters I can get to screw into my classic Pac cabinet?  The bottom has 4 built-in metal corner plates with screw holes in them.  I think I read some cabinets use a 3/8" one, but I dunno.  I just don't know where to find the right threaded caster to screw in there.  Would leg levelers be a better idea?  (And then where to find those?)  That would be harder to move, but then I don't have to worry about it rolling or tipping (even with brake casters.)

I have yet to find threaded casters. Leg levelers are infintely easier to come by. On one of my machines, I removed the 4 threaded plates and installed casters with their own build in mounting plates.

One thing to keep in mind about casters is that they're guaranteed to raise your whole cab up at least a couple of inches. Leg levelers can be dropped down, but casters can't.

I saw them at home depot last night when i was picking up some supplies (the ones on the right). The box said it would only give the appliance/cab a 1 1/4" increase in height. I was thinking of using them on one of my cabs.

The original cabinet used leg levellers. Pretty standard size. You can buy em in lots of hardware places, or online from Arcade Renovations, ArcadeShop, Bob Roberts, etc.
