We've learned since posting this video that many people have had better luck with their Lagun swivel arms, and that you need to loosen the clamp a lot before swiveling the arm. (we had ours semi-tight, just loose enough that we could move the arm, but tight enough that it would stay in place. Apparently that's not loose enough.) ALSO - if you do a similar hack to yours like in this video, Use a fixed caster wheel, not a swivel caster - it will work much better. And if you can find a roller ball caster, that will work even better than that. Good luck!

Might work even better if you put the support leg under the end of the Lagun arm rather than fixed - have the castor on the floor? I think you are supposed to slacken the lever before adjusting, that might be the cause of your issue wearing through the clamp bushes.

Hi Linz - That's correct that we should have been loosening the clamp before swiveling (according to further research and other comments on this video). Also, we've discovered that a fixed caster wheel works better than the swivel caster. I'm not sure how that would work coming down from the Lagun arm though. Thanks for your comment!

Is there any chance you can tell me the diameter of the short mounting tube underneath the table mount? Thank you.

Just an fyi- I did buy an epic water filter on your recommendation. The coupon code didn’t work, but I sure like knowing my water bottle has clean water. Thanks.

Well that is rather unsettling. I will look into it and get back to you.

Well I checked with Epic and they confirmed the code is still working. I suggest you contact them and let them know - support@epicwaterfilters.com - maybe they'll refund your 20%? Sorry for the glitch!

I think the plastic on plastic bushing is the biggest design flaw. From the beginning my table swiveled no matter how we tightened it, so I just kept it as loose as possible. Still have the sag.

Yes I agree. I wish they would make one with brass bushings as well. I'd be willing to pay for better quality!

I've had the same table for five years, and I just thought it was the mechanics of the table. Interesting to learn more about the structural weakness of the Lagun design. Also, hi! It was great to meet you in Alaska last summer. :)

I think this is a terrible idea. Firstly, fix the original problem, which is the worn plastic bushings. These are really cheap, like about $11 a pair. Then once fitted, use carefully as designed, which is tighten when required to be fixed solid, then loosen off for swivelling. I could think of a pile of analogies where you don't whack up the equivalent caster on a stick solution. My Lagun works just fine, seriously, just the way the smart folks at Lagun designed it. When it got worn and a bit wobblly, like every other thing that gets worn, I replaced it, and like new again.

Will agree this is not our best hack, and we just might replace the parts at some point and see if it works better. However - we have already replaced the plastic bushings once. (and now they need to be replaced again) AND, we also need to replace the pins that the bushings swivel on. Those are more difficult to replace and also more expensive. It would be a much better product if made with something other than plastic so a slight tension can be maintained on the parts, allowing them to swivel but also stay in place (without having to constantly loosen and tighten a clamp located under the table.)

I would agree with you Tim. This product on the service is a great idea. But our bushings did not last long. Sagging wobbly table. I stumbled on your video searching for tips on replacing the bushings. I have new ones sitting right here on my work bench and they have been a hassle to swap out. It really shouldn’t be this hard. I’m moving on from Lagun and will just design my own hardier solution.

From my experience the table is too big for the Lagun and putting more stress than it can handle. Sure it will work for a while but then stress and wear out the parts
