How to add casters to metal table legs?

If you have a metal table that you want to be able to move around easily, you can add casters to the legs. This is a relatively easy project that anyone can do, and it will make a big difference in the mobility of your table. Here are the steps you need to follow to add casters to metal table legs:

  1. Start by measuring the width and length of each leg. You need to know this so you can purchase the right size of caster.
  2. Next, use a drill to make a hole in the center of each leg, about 1 inch from the top.
  3. Now, insert a bolt into each hole, and screw on a washer and nut to secure it in place.
  4. Finally, screw the caster onto the bolt. Make sure the caster is tightly secured, and then your table is ready to be moved around!

    I would like to add wheels to card table folding chairs. Can I glue a wooden dowel into the metal leg and the screw the caster into that?
