Title: WD-12 Flat Tire Post by: billy1ear on November 06, 2011, 12:18:42 pm Anyone have a steel caster wheel like this?
Title: Re: WD-12 Flat Tire Post by: Kilroy on November 06, 2011, 01:30:50 pm I'd consider replacing all casters with rubber wheels. Moving around is easier, and it won't destroy wood or tile floors. Just my opinion.

Title: Re: WD-12 Flat Tire Post by: johnieG on November 06, 2011, 04:38:50 pm no an iron caster will only "go-flat" from years of some yahoo dragging it across concrete because they were to lazy or stupid to notice that the axle had been seized with piece of string or some corrosion, the majority of the machines I've seen with jammed/flat iron casters have had mop-yarn/strands wrapped around the axles.

Maybe I will do the grainger thing and get rubber ones... Title: Re: WD-12 Flat Tire Post by: Kilroy on November 08, 2011, 11:32:54 am Your floors, landlord and spouse will thank you.
