Any recommendations on appropriate hardware to to place wheels on some set chairs (Tables and a Desk.) We have money, so I don't need bargain basement options and would like something reliable.
My initial thoughts, was to source fixed seating transport dolly's, but the ones I could find all seemed to have bases wider then our chairs.
We do not have a metal shop, the program has quality funding, but not a lot in the way of shop facilities, or tools beyond the basics. (Table saw, Compound Miter, hand tools)
I've been thinking along this style. Drill a whole with a drill press, put in a pin sheath , and slot a pin style caster https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SLY8DP5/?tag=controlbooth-20
We have accounts at Grainger and such, but I've had a hard time finding this style wheel hardware, as I'm not sure on the specific terms I should be looking for. I've Found these : https://www.grainger.com/search/mat...&searchQuery=chair+wheels&sst=4&tv_optin=true
But what do I need to thread them into a wooden chair. (a 'Female' bolt socket?)
We are looking about about 13 sets(4 wheels)
I'm a little out of my depth with set and hardware in this world.
Any thoughts appreciated.
