I am looking for a cost-effective (budget) source for casters that lift the
tool base that they are attached to and then lock in their down (lifting)
position -- they lift the tool off its feet. Here is an example of the
type:
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00924934000
One problem is that I do not know if they have a special name, so I've had
no luck froogling. The Sears price is $40/set of 4, and I'm hoping to do
better. Also I am hoping to find a somewhat different design than the ones
at the link. TIA -- Igor

For what it's worth, I bought a set of these and they work really
well!! Beats the hell out of the mobile base that came with my saw.
The set from Sears may do the job, but I doubt they're as solid and
well-built as this set.

Try Googling "retractable caster".

Rockler sells a knock-off of the Delta mobile base with the lever caster. You
can buy the caster separately for around fifty bucks from Delta, or $15.99
from Rockler:

Scroll down a bit to see the caster sold separately.

I may not be able to help you with the price, but Woodcraft has a set of
casters which mount directly on the leg and are spring loaded. This sounds
like what you are looking for.

I know the frustration of trying to search but not find. I did a search for
these earlier in the day using "contractor saw leg caster" and could not
find them. I knew I had seen them recently and only found them by paging
through the recent Woodcraft catalog. Sometimes paper is the way to go.
