User Reviews
I'm using a pair of these and a pair of Steelex D2608 3-Inch 220-Pound Swivel Double Lock Polyurethane Plate Casters on a table I built for my 12" compound miter saw. They work fine. A good compromise between useful service and cost. -- Good Product
These are medium duty products (see my review for the fixed/non-rotating version). The wheels rotate around the vertical axis on bearings, and show no difficulty at all. In wheel rotation, they do not use bearings but the center (black) rotates on the axle with reasonable effect. Don't overload, but I'd estimate they are very good for loads up to about 40 lbs or so, per wheel. -- Better than I Expected (From the other review)
I bought these casters to use on a lunmber cart in my garage/workshop. I bought them because I thought that the high profile wheel would deal with grit on the floor pretty well. I can't believe how bad they are. The "bearings" are so worthless that the casters physically grind as you spin them- even without any weight on them. Rortaion of the wheel is OK, but spinning the caster on it's axis is terrible. This is a case of you get what you pay for. I'll be buying replacements somewhere else. -- Bearings? More like gravel!
