DH Casters 5/16 Stem Metal Socket gives a dedicated metal socket for stem furniture casters, so the caster stem has a defined seat in the wood and the load is carried on a stable metal interface. This socket is sized for a 5/16 inch diameter stem and 1-1/2 inch length, which sets clear expectations when matching common stem furniture casters to the socket during layout and drilling. The part is a metal socket, so the stem bears against metal rather than wood fibers, helping the mounting point stay consistent under normal furniture use. The socket is zinc plated, which provides a protective metallic coating on the socket surface so it resists normal oxidation in typical indoor woodworking environments. The product is described as MS-516, giving a repeatable part number that can be referenced when the same socket style is needed across multiple furniture pieces or future projects.
This metal socket for stem furniture casters is described as easy mounting for wood applications, so the geometry and sharp teeth are oriented toward being driven or pressed into wood-based materials during furniture building or repair. With a 5/16 inch diameter stem size and 1-1/2 inch stem length reference, drilling and depth preparation can be planned around those dimensions so the stem seats correctly in the socket. Because the sharp teeth can mount to any wood surface, the socket can be oriented on various wood panels or legs without needing a separate bracket, allowing mounting points to follow design requirements. The metal socket construction gives the stem a metal-lined hole rather than direct wood contact, which supports repeatable caster rotation and typical rolling loads over the life of the furniture piece.
The MS-516 metal socket is positioned for wood applications, so it fits naturally into furniture, cabinets, or wood fixtures that rely on stem furniture casters or twin wheel stem casters. Because it is specified as a socket for stem size 5/16 inch diameter by 1-1/2 inch length, it aligns with casters that use that stem geometry, allowing those casters to be used where a matching hole and socket are prepared in the wood. The description references metal socket for stem furniture casters and great for twin wheel stem casters, which means any wood base designed around those caster styles can incorporate this socket at each caster location. The sharp teeth that can mount to any wood surface let the socket engage directly with legs, rails, or panels, so the mounting points can be placed where the design needs support without an additional mounting plate.
The DH Casters 5/16 Stem Metal Socket uses the defined 5/16 inch stem diameter so the hole size and hardware pairing are predictable, helping installers create repeatable fits across multiple caster points. The 1-1/2 inch stem length reference provides a clear guide for engagement depth, which supports consistent embedment and reduces variation in how far each caster sits into the woodworking piece. Because the socket is metal and zinc plated, the stem bears on a protected metal surface that supports long lasting usage in typical interior environments, which matters when furniture is moved repeatedly. The metal socket for stem furniture casters description clarifies its role as the interface between the caster and the wood, giving fabricators a distinct part number, MS-516, to standardize across jobs. The note that it is great for twin wheel stem casters connects the size and form factor to those caster types, simplifying hardware selection when that caster style is planned.
The MS-516 metal socket is specified for a 5/16 inch diameter stem, so casters using that stem size can be matched to this socket during layout and drilling.
The socket is described for stem size 5/16 inch diameter by 1-1/2 inch length, indicating a 1-1/2 inch stem engagement reference for planning mounting depth in wood.
The metal socket is described as easy mounting for wood applications, so its form and teeth are designed to engage directly into wood-based furniture components.
Sharp teeth can mount to any wood surface, so they bite into the wood to hold the socket and resist rotation when the caster turns under normal use.
The MS-516 socket is zinc plated, providing a metallic coating that supports long lasting usage of the metal surface in typical indoor woodworking environments.
The metal socket is described as for stem furniture casters and great for twin wheel stem casters, aligning it with those caster styles using the specified stem size.
The DH Casters 5/16 Stem Metal Socket, part MS-516, provides a metal, zinc plated interface sized for 5/16 inch diameter by 1-1/2 inch length stems, so it aligns with stem furniture casters and twin wheel stem casters in wood applications. The sharp teeth that can mount to any wood surface let this socket engage legs or panels wherever caster points are planned, helping each caster seat into a metal socket rather than bare wood. For projects where a defined stem cavity and consistent engagement depth are important, this metal socket for stem furniture casters offers a repeatable hardware choice that fits into a wood-focused workflow.
