Just a bit of a heads up on castors. I was looking for a set of castors to allow me to move and position my mill. The machine was already a bit on the low side and I wanted to raise it up about 4". Foot Master castors seemed the ideal solution but rather pricey but I managed to stumble across these on ebay

The picture in the advert is a little misleading, it clearly shows the words FOOT MASTER on the side of the castor, when they arrived it actually has the words FOOT CASTOR.
So they may not be as good the original but each castor still claims to be capable of supporting 750kg and at less than £60 for a set of 4 its pretty good value for a combined castor and levelling foot.
Mine are simply mounted on two bits of 4" wide 5/8" thick steel. Despite a less than perfect concrete floor the mill is pretty easy to move around and once in position easy to lock down and level.
