question on wheels

[ronnie chapman]

hi im looking for wheels for a work bench  so that they flp down to roll the table and flip up so the table will sit and not move  any ideas thanks ronnie

Ronnie,

right off the top of my head I know both Rockler and Woodcraft sell the wheels like you describe. 

Hope this helps, Don

Ronnie,

Here is an alternative to purchasing the wheels I mentioned above.  All I have is the picture, but I bet plans could be purchased from the wood store, which I believe is associated with Wood magazine.

I recently put a set of caster wheels on my 300# work bench. They were bought on Amazon. They are PowerTech 17000. They are easy to install and work great. I can push my bench around easily with one hand.

Rockler has them on sale.  I used these on my bench, and they work great. I may pick up another set for the lathe cart I am working on.

I got 4 heavy duty locking casters from Menards for mine. 2 swivel and 2 straight. Works great. Can lock in place when I don't want it to move and easily unlock when I need to push it around.

If you go with the Rocker Workbench Casters Rockler also sells a quick-release bracket that allows the casters to be quickly removed - so they don't get in the way. You could also get teh quick-release brakets for several workbenches and only use one set of casters to move them - if money was tight.
