Casters for classic cabinet?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Do the leg levelers come with the same thread though?  That'd be best.  I wouldn't want the height raised, I don't think.  I bought a hand-truck, so moving it isn't really much of a problem.  As long as the wood is off the floor, it's fine.

Second question - how to repair cracking/peeling cabinet wood on the base?  I was thinking I would put wood glue between the parts that are shearing off, and clamp it till it dries.  Then once all the existing pieces of wood are securely bonded, fill in the missing parts with bondo (?)  Then sand smooth, and paint.  Any better ideas would be appreciated.

Search for Ball Casters they will work great if you are on carpet, but without some locking foot they would slide easily on flat floors.  They are still have adjustable height like leveling pads too.

item 6460K31 is the type I am talking about.

It would probably be a flat floor.  Nice product, but I would definitely need the wheels to lock.  I think I will just go with levelers.

Home depot has a nice heavy duty castor that is threaded. It's a replacement fo a Rigid Table saw. It was very heavy duty and had a wheel lock on it. I don't know what the thread size was. From memory it was either 3/8-16 or 1/2-13.

Hmm, I was just at Home Depot and I didn't notice that in with their other casters.  They actually had screw-in "gliders", almost exactly what I wanted, but it was a 5/16" bolt, and I didn't trust that it would fit a 3/8".  (I think classic cabs use 3/8"?)  I ended up just buying some "ultra heavy duty felt pads" for $3.50.  I am kinda second guessing it now though.  Maybe I should have tried that 5/16" thread glider to see if it would have fit.  Oh well.
