Isn¡¯t there a mobility kit for the CF541? ?I have the Felder mobility kit on the CF741, and it works well. ?I personally would go with either a pallet jack or the Felder kit...

Hi Joe,?I have a lot of time for relocation, placing casters just step in between, only because I am going to lift machine anyway and floor in a new shop - concrete. ?If you think that better to place caster in the new place - maybe you are correct. I will change my plan accordingly.
Question remain - how many casters?

Hi Ed,
I have Zambus casters on several machines.
I bought the casters with 10mm studs and used double nuts on the back side that way no drilling was necessary.
The casters don¡¯t do well on uneven or rough surfaces as the wheels are small. ?
If you are considering using the casters to roll your machines into trucks with uneven thresholds then there are better solutions. ?Like a pallet jack.
Once your machines are in place then the casters should be installed. ?
I find it easier to move my CF731 with a pallet jack in the shop but I only move it every couple of years. ?I have the levelers set and mark the floor so I can get the machine back in the same place and level without adjusting the levelers. ?So no need for Zambus casters on the CF731. ?

Hi all,
I am planning to move my shop to another location and decided to place Zambus casters before move. I have CF531 combination machine.
First question - should I place 6 casters: 4 under saw and shaper and another two outside corner of planer? Or, I already has all 8 of it, should I place all casters. My concern - how rigid connected planer to body of shaper/saw unit? What you will recommend?
And another question - stem for casters size M12. I would need to drill bigger size hole in the supported plates in the machine. What will be the best way to do it? For now my plan is to lift machine with?HYDRAULIC FLOOR CRANE approximately 3-4 inches up and place it on 2 by 4s, use angle drill to adjust size of the holes and install asters. Is it sound reasonable?
Thank you, Ed.
