scrawled the following:

I have Harbor Freight 5" 650 lbs casters on a homemade dolly that
spends most of its time outside, and is often used for moving heavy
loads (up to 1000 lbs). They perform very well and never give me
trouble.

I swear by the HF 5-inchers, too, but I have never kept a kiloton on
top of a set and I don't know how they would stand up to it. My little
wood lathe has been on a set for at least 7 years, but that's less
than 200 lbs. No degradation has been seen at that level of weight.

I like the 5-inchers because they can jump anything up to the size of
an air hose without hesitation.


Suggestion of McMaster carr for domestic made casters is seconded.

I remember meeting a very nice guy at Westek eons ago. Now what was
that caster company name...? Ah, Darnell-Rose. See
