The correct part number now is 555528 seen here:perryobear wrote:Hi Tony,
Shopsmith does, or maybe I should say did, make a caster set for the old style free standing OPR. The p/n was 555456 and it also fit the Joint-Matic stand. It was available from Shopsmith at least through May of last year when I bought my set. The p/n does not come up on the Shopsmith web site anymore, but you might want to check with customer service.
The OPR caster set included the two caster assemblies (like the Mk 5's) as well as four steel mounting brackets and hardware. The installation required you to remove the lower side braces from the stand and drill an additional mounting hole in each of the legs to mount the new caster brackets. It was also recommended that the side braces that were removed be shortened and re-installed higher up on the legs. This link should take you to some photos of the installation on my OPR.

As LDH has mentioned, I am sure there are homemade ways of accomplishing the same thing.
I hope this helps,
Dennis
