casters

[Farrell]

Hi Avery,

Well, I suppose that if the original sockets just happened to be the exact 
same size as a Darnell caster socket, I suppose you could. BUT, I have 
always had to install the Darnell caster sockets. And the casters often 
require a larger radius hole to be bored for turning. So yeah, install a new 
socket and bore/route out enough wood so the Darnell caster can turn.
