[Shop-talk] Lever-operated caster/wheel?

[David C.]

Jim,
I know just what you are talking about; I have the same pedal mechanism 
under my Grizzly thickness planer and it's a pretty standard item under 
a lot of imported stationary tools.  I have never seen this caster/pedal 
assembly sold in a catalog, but you CAN get it from Grizzly as a 
replacement part, "pedal assembly", Item # 549A, P/N P0453Z549A as shown 
here:

for $45 each.

I have a (home made hydraulic) motorcycle lift table and I know EXACTLY 
what you mean about not moving around....
