I have a heavy old bandsaw that I have to move out of the way. It's in the way MOST of the time I am not using it. Typical available shop space (25x40) to amount of equipment fight. I decided that I would put some casters on it and then I remembered that I save everything...including four small casters. Bonus! I don't have to buy them.So I cut some pieces of 1/4in mild steel to the shape/size of the top of the caster. I then cleaned the side I would weld the single 1/2in bolt head onto. Cleaned the cadmium plating off the bolts as well getting them ready to weld together.Using 1/8 Excalibur 7018 at 125 amps on my Miller DialArc 250 on DCEP I welded the bolt to the plate and then heavy tacks of the plate to the upper rotating plate of the caster. They don't need to be welded all around. For the most part this saw will sit static in the way of everything.

Reply:Question: Where I welded the bolt head (in the last couple of pics in Phase I) to the plate and the weld bead looks like it is being blown to one side...is this an example of "ARC BLOW"?I really have no idea what I am doing.Two Shop Cats (not Bobcats...real cats)Miller DialArc 250 AC/DCScratch-Start TIG SetupMIG 175Plasma CutterO/A
