Steve,
I have been using an electric hoist mounted to my ceiling joist. It is rated at 220 lbs. (440 when cable is doubled up). I have turned 30 in. or better blanks on my lathe, probably weighing...
Jim,
That would be the LV-1710-NYP-S-M12, 1.75" stabalizing casters.

GreatLakes casters bolt right into holes used to bolt saw to shipping pallet.These casters have a large rubber foot that comes down to stabilize the saw and locks it in place even on uneven cement...
Ian specifically referenced the G0636XB in his initial post. Rightly I believe in using it to compare to the Italian saws. You may be confusing saws Eiji, I would hardly consider the G0636XB as...
Ian, have added some pictures so you can see the table extension which it appears the G0636XB comes with, also took advantage of a chance to show the stubby. Think you will be pleased with any of...
I purchased my G0636X, having chosen it over the Italian saws, about a year ago. Have posted with pictures before. Have added the extension table and attached the telescoping support arm to the base...
Grizzly H5895 $9.95
Have had no problems in either green or dry lumber with the blade clogging. The lenox trimaster cuts through 15" plus black walnut with almost no effort needed to push whether dry or green. The...
Be forewarned I am just teaching myself this wood turning thing, but I do know quality. Having prepared with various turning books, Bill Grumbine's DVD, and Richard Rafan's DVD, I turned my first...
Have posted in the past about how I used the Great Lakes Casters on my 17" G0636X Grizzly bandsaw and on my Grizzly 12" J/P. Think of these as stabilizers with the benefit of low center of gravity...
Allen, could you provide info on your high chip/dust detector?
Stubby has arrived! GLOAT ALERT
I just got it home tonight, 1 week after sending my check to Bill at Stubby Lathe USA. Arrived in beautiful condition. Local reseller Rich Johnson forwarded the order and provided frequent follow up....
If you are willing to consider a simpler solution to the large welded frames, check out my post on how I added Great Lakes casters to my Grizzly 12" Jointer/Planer. The idea of just using these low...
Russ, my bandsaw is the G0636X which has square tubing frame for base. Therefore I was able to use existing holes used to bolt the saw to the delivery pallet. In the case of the G0513X, If the frame...
At greatlakescaster.com, only one choice in their "leveling casters" category. It is their item LV-1710-NYP-S-M12, a 1.75" stabilizing caster. This is a knock off of the Zambus design. If you check...
The design of these casters allows you to lower a large rubber leg using the knurled knob in the middle of the caster. Only light hand pressure is needed. The intent is not to raise the machine but...
Mobility "shoes" for my Grizzly 12" Jointer/Planer
Decided to go minimal in the design for my Jointer/Planer mobility. Legs are open so I used 1/4" steel plates with tabs attached to allow me to install Great Lakes Casters (under $15 each). Now have...
I have a Grizzly 12" J/P and have cut flat steel plates the size of the existing feet. Small tabs are welded on sides of plates and these will be bolted to holes in legs that bolted unit to delivery...
I purchased the Grizzly G0636X 17" bandsaw and posted pictures of my use of greatlakes casters on 1/27/08. Would highly recommend you look into these for your application. My G0634 12" J/P just...
Yes the same thing happened to my yesterday.
Bob, check out posts in my name. You will see I just set up my G0636X with Great Lakes casters and am very pleased. Adjustment nut is easy to access. Private message me if you need any specifics. You...
I second the previous votes for the Rigid flip top design. This just seems to be a "better mousetrap", Love mine.
The zambus animation is what helps to distort how they work for me. The adjusting nut is plastic. You are not going to raise the weight of a heavy machine with it, nor do you need to. You are not...
Similar to the Zambus but better deal, these casters work much better than the mobile bases I have used: http://www.greatlakescaster.com/proddetail.php?prod=LV-1710-NYP-S-M12. I am going to replace...
