FWIW--

I have an OLD craftsman on an extended table with the drawers full of iron
stuff for other tools. Whole thing weighs around 250#. I put it on 6
swivel casters (no locks) with the intention of putting wedges under the
edges to hold it in place.

Never needed the wedges. I have to get a good hold and yank to get that
sucker moving. As someone else said, if the saw moves when you are pushing
a board through it--you better check your blades sharps."

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.
