Retractable Casters
Retractable Casters
(OP)
I am designing a device that needs retractable casters. I found an example on-line in the Brunson 230-F but cannot work out how to design this. Has anyone got an idea?
Requirements: Retract/deploy 3 or 4 casters using foot or hand lever. Casters must lift load of approx. 200# approx 1/2" off floor.
I could buy a Brunson Stand and modify it but that would be more expensive and not really what I need.
Tanks,

Was that your own design?

In fact, it's not even my saw, just a picture I found on the internet. I'm fortunate enough to have a sufficiently large shop space where I don't need to move my table saw.

Some use springs above the casters just strong enuff to raise the step ladder feet slightly off the ground, but a person's weight plants it solidly on the floor.
