<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI">I'd invest in some good bearing wheels or at least metal bushings of adequate size...( the larger the wheel...the easier it will roll) giving consideration to how much it's going to raise my work surface.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI">good wheels will cost as much as the "land of almost right" platform</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI">I'd either find a suitably sized pallet or build a substantial wood frame and bolt on the wheels. <BR>The wheels could be recessed some to reduce the height and it would also limit its tendency to tip if you hit something on the floor.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI">depending on your collections of scraps and drops..the cost of the wheels might be your only expense</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Those Amazon models look pretty plasticky - I double they would survive a 400 lb. tool, especially the $23 model.</DIV>

<DIV>I have two of this Bora model: <A href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PATV14A">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PATV14A</A>. One holds my bandsaw, and the other my mini-mill and</DIV>
<DIV>the chest of drawers (full of tools) it stands on. They work great, and my mini-mill setup probably weighs 400 lb.</DIV>
