<p>Here is my foldaway almost finished but you will get the idea. It has a table top of 4ft x 6ft. folded down only 2ft x 6ft. Here is my project page.</p>

<p>Selecting the appropriate locking caster for the application, is important.</p>
<p></p>
<p>There are locking casters on the market that are very effective.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Some casters have a feature that locks in both directions---movement and rotation simultaneously.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've used Industrial Casters on mobile units, including some heavy machines, and have had no problems with movement.</p>

<p>I made a small roll-around stand for a benchtop shaper that I use occasionally. I made it so I could just lift the whole tool and top up and store it under neath and roll it under a workbench. Then I made a separate melmine top I could use as additional work space. I'm still coming up with more additional tops I can add. KREG jig, clamping table, etc.</p>

<p>I'm not a fan of locking casters (they seem to move at just the wrong time) so I just put two casters on one end and have regular legs on the other. To move just pick one end up and roll like a wheel barrow.

<p>Chad,</p>
<p>Consider making a separate mobile stand, before you finalize your plans to build and attach the object to your work-bench.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A separate mobile stand/table can suffice as an auxiliary work-space.</p>
<p>Two such units can be made, and used on both ends of the workbench.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Drawers can be included to facilitate storage of tools and such.</p>

<p>The top, on one unit, could feature a Kreg work station for drilling, and the second top could include an assembly station. When mobile, they could be positioned side-by-side.</p>
