Adding Casters

[Anonymous No.1791075]

diy something i'm struggling with is adding casters to galvanized pipe table I built.

to be exact the casters would need to be added to a: 3/4 to 1/2 reducer or the option would be to remove the reducer and attach the casters to a 3/4 elbow.

The problem is other than finding a 1/2 or 3/4 expanding caster with threading, I don't know how else to attach it.

My build on my table comes from the photo attached.

Any thoughts?

Make some sleeves out of metal and epoxy the fuckers in there.

That elbow better be really fucking tight, or your table is going to tip over.

Weld it?

The zinc fumes should help with that. Unless OP is immune like me.

You only have to worry about the fumes if you are welding or grinding this shit. Otherwise its safe especially after you paint it. You are dumb fuckoff

your never going to find a caster with NPT threads, what I would do is find a caster with a bolt that fits inside you pipe and then fill the pipe with anchoring cement.

NPT is what the threads on the pipe are called, casters are going to have SAE/metric threads, not interchangeable

>casters are going to have SAE
But this is not an automotive application.

Old trade books used to recommend drinking milk to fight off illness from galvanized/zinc fumes.
