With that in mind, here is what I plan. I will use 4 swivel castors with rubber wheels. I plan to set the lathe height on wheels about 1 inch lower than working height. This really is dictated by how level the floor
is. I will then use 4 leveling feet (one near each wheel) to raise
the lathe off the casters. I have the levelers already (along with
the casters, a result of dumpster diving) but you could make them from
1/2" carriage bolts. In your case, I would think you could attach a
2x4 across each pair of legs and attach the castors and levelers.

Hi Bill. I have seen that design in execution and it is great. The
design I saw was a like this |-----| with wheels on the
outriggers. The legs were drilled through on the feet and a large
bolt adjusting foot like these

Were installed. I am not sure, but I think one of my buddies got them
from McMaster Carr for one one of his projects.

and type in "adjustable feet" in the keyword box. You should go to
page 1308, and you can see a variety of heavy duty leveling feet, as
well as the dampening kind located at the top of the page.

I would also recommend steel wheels, as the heavy duty hard rubber
wheels I put under my huge old workstation corroded after about 10
years and they fell apart when I needed to move the workstation. Just
a thought.
