Hi yall. Long time lurker, first time poster. My question is, if a caster is rated at 100 #, does that mean 4 are rated at 400#? I lucked into a parks 12 planer in great shape, but need to get it on stand. In my small shop, wheels are a must. |

You’re correct. 4 of them should hold a capacity of 400lbs. Enjoy the new planer -- ~ Inspiring those who inspire me ~ |

You’re right – but I prefer a little overkill in terms of capacity. Especially if there’s any room for sag, although that’s probably not a problem for a planer. Also – consider using a base to lift the working surface up to the same height as your table saw (or other major table object). I find it’s nice to have extra support area around when I need it. -- Bob www.singularengineering.com - A sideline, not how I earn a living |
