See picture below - I have these type of casters from woodcraft on my Jet lathe and one of them broke today when I was moving the lathe. So I thought ahhhhhhh dang ill have to order another one. Then I thought to save a few dollars I could just have the threaded shaft welded back on the base. I do not have a welder capable of doing it so I took the caster down to the auto repair place today and asked if someone could weld it for me - explaining that I needed it to be flush with the bottom of the caster and straight (I had previously ground both pc with a flat spot). The guy there said no problem it will only take a second........Moments later he came out of the back and handed it to me smiling and said there was no charge................
One one hand, it was nice of him to say no charge..............
On the other hand - im thinking "REALLY"?? "Seriously" ?...."You have to be flipping kidding me" ?? ........
I just ordered a new one from woodcraft..........................ohhhhhhh well
