Title: Roller casters Post by: USMC Vet on June 17, 2007, 12:28:24 pm Would it be a good idea while I have the machine (81D) in the garge to put some roller casters on it ? Do they make it easier to roll on the carpet ? I figured it would be a good idea while I have it where I can work on it and might make it easier to move around. Thanks!

The casters are far easier to move around. Dave Title: Roller casters Post by: dr galaga on June 17, 2007, 02:56:20 pm Yes, put them on! They work fine on the carpet. When I took my Cavalier to get painted, the owner of the shop thanked me for having them on it.

The only reason the 81 is favored over the 110 is size, so increasing the height 3" may or may not be what you want to do.

I'd suggest just buying a 2 wheel cart at the local home depot or somewhere and keep it handy for the few times you'd actually need to move the machine.
