Is a person able to just add locking caster wheels to a heavy Table saw
instead of buying a lift plate for one? I just purchased a Craftsman
22104 and the weight of 300 lbs makes it a bit hard to just push into
the corner when I am done. I was just thinking of purchasing 4 good
size rubber wheel casters and bolting them on each leg. I trust the
judgement of the more experienced woodworkers out in this group. This
is my first major Table saw purchase and don't want to wreck it by
pushing it with force.


It might not need to much "locking".

I once asked an old (or rather, experienced) Unisaw owner about how I
ought to secure my contractor's saw + mobile base combo, as I was
afeard' of it rolling around while cutting. He had an interesting response:

"If it moves pushing a board through a cut, then the blade isn't sharp enough."

I found that a little wake-up to a different point of view.
