3" Hard Rubber Stem Swivel Caster with Brake

Comments about 3" x 3/4" Stem Swivel Caster with Brake:

I purchesed 4 of the these about 6 years ago for my Router table. Still to this day, I'm very impressed how well the table rolls around my shop and locks into place, even transported to odd jobs and had on varying surfaces. You DO NOT want your Router Table to move or even wiggle during operation, these work great. Going to be buying more for another table and hopefully quality has not gone down. Yes it is true the threads are not standard, however, nuts (even locking nuts which is what I have) CAN be found. Bring ALL casters with you to ensure they fit properly.

Purchased a set of 4.
Installed them on the 10" Professional Table Saw
Item #46813 being that it is a heavy saw. Utilized 3/4" unistrut for the bracing to attach the wheels to. Enables me to easily move the saw around my shop with ease. The locking wheels keeps it from moving around when cutting wood.
I would recommend these to a friend and would purchase again.

CON #1: Each caster requires a nut to install. The nut is somewhat non-standard: 1/2-20 NF fine thread. HF does not provide nuts with the casters. They do not have bags of nuts in the caster area. They don't have 1/2-20 NF nuts ANYWHERE in the store. Clerk suggested that I should go to [another retailer] to get the nuts for the casters that HF sells. SHAME on HF for this indifference to customers! I finally found the nuts at [other retailer #2] about 10 miles away. CON #2: The threads are off just enough that the nuts don't turn easily. MUCH harder to install that they should be, even after I found the 1/2-20 nuts.

Bought 4. All had very poor quality threads. 1/2 x 20 threads are claimed, quality so far off that a die or thread chaser could not be use to clean up the threads. Metal quality so poor that threads on one caster failed completely. If you can get a nut on the bolt and when the caster bearings fail you will have to cut the caster off. If you need such an item buy it somewhere else.
