Hello! Are you guys still in business? I have a cool old chair that needs the casters replaced because they are hard plastic and i have hard wood floors. The problem i'm having is the stem is 7/16x1.5" but all of the decorative casters i have found are .3"diameter. Do you have something in your shop? TIA

Truly hope I hear from you. Have two very similar wheels on a standing ice chest. The chest has two wheels that don't lock. Two wheels that have a l lateral locking handle. Had very strong winds yesterday. One of the loockin wheels no longer locks. Is there a simple fix?

Great vid.

I hate finding casters after i find out what i need. Seems like no box retailer or amazon has a method to organize the search of casters with stem size as a method of search.

Is there a way to seperate stem from the wheel? I bought new set of wheels and there is 1mm difference in stems so I thought I would replace them with the original stems that I will take off from my chair. Should I use wd40 and pull?

Choice clip..easy peesy🎉

Hi Allen, is there a video on how to stop the swivel, but without stopping the wheel from moving?

👏👏👏👍👍👍

This method was not very helpful in my case. I need to replace the caster socket on an antique oak office chair. My caster stems are 1-1/2" long and involve a considerable taper, from 5/16" at the ball end to 3/8" about 1/4" before the shoulder, and, using a Dewalt drill gauge similar to the tool in the video, the only opening which slides all the way to the shoulder, with some slop in the fit, is the 25/64" hole. Well, what size caster do I neet? I have now wasted money by following the advice in this video, purchasing 5/16" casters which are far too small. In the video you measure the caster stem pretty casually, at different distances from the shoulder, and that is not sufficient guidance. If you could, in order for this to be more useful, could you please discuss the issue of taper along the caster stem? I realize that, given the advanced age of the video, you may not respond, but I hope that others seeking information will notice this post and visit other resources before wasting money. Peace out.

Merci

Very clear and precise, thank you!

Ah TNut! Thank you

exactly what I was looking 4

Where is the link to the printout with silhouettes? I can't find it on the "how to measure a caster stem" page.

Fantastic video, thanks for the useful info!

I've been fighting for my life on this office chair that has a steel base where the pins don't want to budget out of the sockets. I've finally been able to get 4 of them out after letting some boeshield penetrating oil get in there and sit for a while. The very last one the pin seems to have softer steel and the pliers are just marring it badly and I can't for the life of me get it out. I want to thank you guys for getting me this far but pray for me to get this 5th one out.

This video is so freaking helpful!

Thank you for this great instructional video. I was able to remove a stem that had pulled off the wheel as I was removing them. I can't thank you enough.

thanks man, just what I was looking for.

thanks from 2022， t nut is the thing i need

Thank you so so SO so much! Life saver.

Very helpful! Thank you!

OK but my stem wheel broke off in my chair I can’t get out do you have any tips

Absolute beginner here. This video was perfect. Only thing he forgot to mention is that if you have a 5/16 caster wheel in diameter, the Tnut size has to be 5/16 as well. It may seem like common sense but just in case someone gets overwhelmed when they get to the Tnut section at the hardware store.

Thanks for the tips, all the way from the UK!

Niiiiiccccceeee!!!!!

Thank you! So helpful.

Awesome, thank you! Was trying to figure out how I was gonna lift a ping pong table to measure the stem and you gave me great options, so simple!

great video, we're the caster producer and exporter since the year 2010. welcome to inquiry and order

Thanks very much for the video. I do have a question: When you're drilling without a jig, how can you make certain you are drilling parallel with the table leg? Is eyeballing it adequate?

what size pressure fit rings are those?

so helpful!!!

Even after8 years it's still great advice.

thanks wanted to change my chairs height by getting bigger wheels so i can rest my arm better while gaming, wasnt sure abt the stem underrated video

Thanks. This was really helpful for my mobile woodworking projects.

Simply awesome! Thank you. God bless!

Ty so much!

How would you extract a broken tip of a caster stem that's still in the chair base? Any insight appreciated.

Asinine to drill a hole the way this fellow is doing it. No amateur is going to able to get the hole square and true doing it the way the demo shows.

Got the caster wheel off but the stem was still in. Got some vice grips and still can't budge it. Bought 2 used office chairs and can't get even one caster wheel off. Wonder if someone glued these stems in or something.

Thank you very much for the demo and explaining all the steps and name of the supplies (i.e. T nut).

The only thing holding the caster to the leg (vertically) is the four small metal knife cut-outs on the T-nut. T-nuts are supposed to be used on the other side of the workpiece so that the bolt tightens the nut against the wood and motion parallel to the bolt axis is not possible. In this instance, if you hold the wheel and pull the chair up, you've a good chance of dislodging the wheel. I'd use epoxy at least to stick bolt / nut on but that is a "duct-tape" solution.

Awesome, thx! I was able to insert one of the castors (w grip rings) into my new drafting chair. Having a LOT of trouble with the others. Your demo made it actually understandable and therefore, hoping! possible for this 69-yr-old woman. Much appreciate you.

Thanks 🙏

where do I get the T nuts or the threaded furniture inserts?

Can you tell me how to replace a broken stem the chair caster goes into.thank you
