This question is of great interest to me. If, say, I has a 1500 lb
rated caster with a urethane wheel, would it deform under 800 lb
load, enough to make it troublesome to move. Thanks

How about using whatever casters, but, after placing the mill use the
"step on feet" that will take the weight off the casters until you
need to move the mill again? I do this with a nice heavy duty
castered table that I have.


My table saw is like that. I've got a similar base form my radial arm saw.
Never thought about one for a mill.
