16-32 Jet DS should be here this week :), any 16-32 owners happen to know what the stem size is for the casters ?

Pretty sure the holes in the legs are for 3/8" stems.

I got my 16-32 brand new, with in & out feed tables and casters. If I remember correctly, it was all less than $600 and was before the Jet name appeared on the sanders (still Performax but built in Taiwan). Has been an excellent performer with the only repair being the reset switch on the motor.

Thanks guys for your help. I picked up the 16-32 yesterday and found out the holes are 1/2 in., had a set of locking casters w/ 1/2 in. stem that I got from Rockler at a special $ so was able to use them. Got it mounted to the stand and conveyor bed on, still need to mount the in-out tables, can't wait to crank er up.
