I’ve scanned the entire WWW and can not seem to find a quality caster that is a fit for the diy fixture tables. Jason can you please make one?

Recently I used these on a shop cart. Single molded wheel, no outer liner to delaminate after 2-3 years of use in a shop.

I was impressed with [Foot Masters’](https://www.footmastercasters.com/) casters. They have a wide variety and [the ones](https://www.footmastercasters.com/sub/caster_detail.php?gm_code=pd01&gs_name=GDR-80&gd_model_type=%ED%8F%89%ED%8C%90%EC%B7%A8%EB%B6%80%ED%98%95&gd_type2=NYN&gs_type=GDR&gs_code=GDR) I’m using for my CNC frame are very robust. For the DIY table, I’m sure you’d want a different one but they have a number of different options with different ways to attach them. You can order some of them off Amazon as well.

I finally got done building my table, and used casters that have a retractable foot so it can be leveled. I picked a set from Amazon that had 3/8-16 stems, so the only change i had to make from Jason’s build was put the nut on top of the foot plate.

Looks like you’re ready to go! I like the expanded metal idea.
