Mark,

    I have a rolling mill on a stand. I have never bolted it to the
    cement floor for the very reason you mentioned. 

    In order to anchor the mill stand I took a piece of 3/4 inch plywood
    that is 4 x 2 feet ( if you have more space use a slightly larger
    size ). On the back of the plywood I attached two 2x4's attached
    with the wide width to the plywood and screwed these to the two long
    edges ( these 2x4's will now act as feet and add a space between the
    plywood and the floor for the bolt heads ). I bolted the mill stand
    to the center of the plywood and then attached the mill. I have been
    using this for about 15 years with no complaints. I stand on the
    plywood as I roll the metal. 

Good Luck
Greg DeMark
