[Jewelry making - Article 00812] - [Orchid] Rolling mill stand on concrete

    I have a new rolling mill that I am planning on bolting to a stand
    and then anchoring the stand into a concrete floor. In the past I
    have always attached rolling mills to a very heavy bench, one that's
    too heavy to move at all. This new mill will fit into the space
    better on one of those pillar-like metal stands. My question is,
    should I worry about the stand coming loose over time? It just seems
    like, even with those long metal expanding anchors that are sold to
    fasten things into concrete, they might work loose as this big heavy
    rolling mill on top of this skinny stand is cranked, pushed and
    pulled day after day. Any suggestions? 

Thanks,
Mark
