I wish this thread had a wiki so I wouldn't have to look through the entire thread for something specific I'm looking for.

Why didn't you just cut the two rear horizontal pieces and lengthened them by a few inches? EDIT: Never mind. I just read this portion "I constructed the stand so that it spanned the maximum length of bike frame rails (front-back)"

Good to know. I was contemplating on using my own heavier duty casters in place of Global's. I have 6 that are 59" tall (without casters). I want casters for them only for the occasional need to move then in case I want to rearrange my garage. They won't need to be moved regularly. Height...

Good to know. Thanks. If the holes are the only things incompatible, I could live with needing to drill holes to save a bit of money and work. I suppose I should order a set to see for myself.

Has anyone used this set from Global? It looks similar to the Lista waffle plates...

Thanks again for doing this for the group. I suppose you can also do Lista and Vidmar stickers. I need a few of them for ones I'm restoring.

When all is said and done, it might be more economical to buy waffle plates from Motorhead Extraordinaire. And I don't have to fabricate anything. :-)

Oh wow. Thanks for doing the calcs for me. May I assume that you're a P.E. in Mechanical Engineering? I never took a class in Strengths Of Materials. Sounds like I need to go with 1/2" steel or 3/4" aluminum plate. :beer:

Good advice. Thanks. Choice 1: I thought about tapping the square tube but it'll have to be thicker material (may be the better choice for strength, too). Choice 2: Drill some holes on the plates and the square tube to have access holes for the bolts. Choice 3: Install rivnuts on the...

I abandoned the 4" caster idea. I'm going to 5" casters for the lighter cabinets and 6" casters for the heavy ones. I'm contemplating on building my own waffle plates and attaching casters I bought from Amazon. It will be made of 1/8" steel plate with 3/4" square tube welded on. Then, I...

Re: Picking Up a Lista Tomorrow Joe, Would you advise against using these waffle plates and casters on 59" high Listas? Would they be too top heavy? Thanks

need pics, please pics, please

Has anyone used one of these office cabinets with drawers to use as part of a welding cart? Are there any negatives to using these? These can be had for much less than buying a HF side cabinet.

I bought some sets of 4" (swivel w/brakes) casters with a load capacity of 2200 pounds (per set) from Amazon for a killer price on CyberMonday. I was planning to use these for the front casters. Installed height for these casters is 135mm (5 1/4"). I have been searching for fixed casters for...

LX's Lista set-up is so old now. I think he needs to replace it. Again, I'm offering to haul the old one away for him :lol_hitti

Any updates, Bull?

Lol. I'm also still waiting for you to replace your welding table and I offered to drive from CA to TX to "haul" your welding table for you for free.

Bumping this thread to the top. Everyone should read this thread because it's just great.

Wow. Those casters are nice but expensive ($120 each)...
