[GreenKeys] putting castors on 28 KSR's

[Steve Ripper]

Bruce:

 

I have a couple of M19 tables. No threads in the legs. They are hollow
square stock, but there is a flange about 4 -6 inches up in the leg that
acts as a nice stop for the adapters I made out some square aluminum stock
found at a local supply house. Machined it down to a press fit in the table
leg. Drilled and tapped for the ½-13 caster and now I have an easily movable
M19. All of my machines are on casters. Even my M26 machines have casters,
Just the reverse process as the M19 tables. Took the same square aluminum
stock, but this time hollowed out a pocket for the stock M26 table leg. I
did not want to damage the original M26 table legs. Now I can roll whatever
machine I want to use up to my TTY rack of equipment plug it in and I am up
and running. I will try to get some photos.

 

Cheers,

There were holes in the bottoms of my 28 cabinets, but the metal looked too
thin for  single stud casters. I emptied the cabinets, turned them upside
down, and drilled and tapped holes for regular four screw plate style
casters. The ones I found fit very well and you hardly notice them.  In a
few weeks when the snow, rain, and cold ends? and I can work in my garage, I
will see what I can do to put casters under a model 19 table and a
Kleinschmidt single table.

So far cant find anything in the docs. and my helpers are not around today. 

 

Do the pedestals / cabinets have threaded hols/inserts for casters  ?

 

If so, 1/2-13 ?
