Custom tig cart

Slime really won't work on those for some reason...especially if hot sparks fly and melt through the rubber.

I'll be doing a cart build soon on the video channel as soon as we get the new site up.

If you want the cushion of a pneumatic tire without the leak issues, you can get them filled solid with a soft rubber compound that mimics air. We get this on a lot of equipment with small tires that run in rough areas. Some bicycle shops can do this and we get it done at a large semi tire shop. I think they use the same stuff for mining equipment. The tires will weigh a lot more, but you never have to worry about flats, and they still run over floor debris like a pneumatic tire.

That's exactly what I'm looking for, the hard plastic is a real pain, it just pushes whatever it runs into. Thanks, I'm going to look into this

If you got the 10" versions, you can get solid ones at Princess Auto, too. They have a lot of sizes and roll over almost as much as a pneumatic tire. There are other sizes as well.

They're the same price I paid for the 4" casters I got from Home Depot. Those pneumatic tires I have I got for free, but I agree a solid tire would be the way to go for sure

Here is another option. Something a bit different I stumbled across on YouTube.

Not a bad idea, I know practicality should be foremost, but looks play a roll for me as well. I think I'd try doing something like that before I tried the narrower solid wheels. You just can't beat the look of bigger, wider tires,even on a welding cart. I went with a 5 inch caster (4 inch wheel) on the front, compared to the little casters on my northern tool mig cart. It looks better and mobility it great as well.

New pic, I've been sick so not much progress.
