    a stand with a dolly underneath it that has locking wheels is a great
    solution as it allows the user to move it where needed and replace
    out of the way when not in use.and I for one, after going through a
    flood and having to move things quickly wouldn't bolt down anything
    permanently. Stabilising it though can be done with lag bolts to the
    stand- I had the platform the stnd came with modified by a machinist
    to allow for a wider base and the attachment of a removable vise to
    keep tension on wire that is sometiomes necessary, and also for the
    attachment of an electric winch that coils the wire directly from the
    mill to a spool. adding on what are essentially wings to the edges of
    the tool holding base on the stand solves the issue of what is
    seemingly "too skinny" a stand and makes the entire unit more
    versatile when fabricating more than a couple of inches of mill work.
