1x2x.050 Rectangular Tube to 3/8-16 Hex Coupler for Wheels
Description
This creates and endcap that holds a 3/8"-16 coupling nut in place. You may then drill a slightly oversize 7/16"-1/2" hole at the center of the 1" edge, and 22.90mm from end. This will allow you to thread in any 3/8-16" wheel with a lock nut and/or washers as you see fit. It holds the wheel very steady in this tube. Tube: 1" x 2" x 0.05" Wall. I've included the Fusion 360 File to allow modification and incorporation into more designs. Why: I found an old computer desk, took it apart, and installed some extra "squareing" support and got a handy small shop rack for metal parts, photo above. The original wheels were way to flimsey and were falling apart. I found a set of 4 2" casters for a great price at a local antique market, and decided to replace the existing wheels with these. This is about 2 redesigns later, and really solid. I'm sure you might find a use for this cap/support piece to build a welding/wood rack, for you own custom desk, or for wherever your imagination takes you.
