Caster Kits come with four swivel casters handy for manipulating your lathe around a tight shop. They should be removed when turning.

Extreme caution needs to be taken when moving a lathe on sloped surfaces. Robust lathes are heavy, and they can quickly get away from you when there is an opportunity to roll.

Caster kits for the American Beauty and Liberty come with a compact screw jack for lifting the lathe.  There is a bracket on the jack that fits into a notch on the leg assembly to keep it from slipping. 

The jack lets you get the casters on and off the lathe in tight spaces.

The casters attach without tools using the spring loaded plunger - which enters a hole in the foot. In addition, a tab on the caster bracket locates in a hole in the leg.

We've put "many miles" on our original shop caster kit, rolling Robust lathes in and out of our trailer and in and out of trade shows and demonstrations. 

Turning while the lathe is on casters is not recommended.
