    Dear Mark, Befor you go and drill into the floor you may want to
    check this out. I worked for a fantasic gold forging person years
    ago, Doug Legenhausen. He had his rolling mill on a stand, but it
    was not drilled into the floor. instead he got a 1 inch piece of
    plywood and cut it into a circle about 3-4 ft across. he mounted the
    stand in the middle of the wood. when you use the mill you were
    standing on the wood and it did not move around. the sides were
    beveled and you could move it around the room. He could not drill
    into the floor because it was a rented space. 

    My mills are mounted to the sides of two benches but if I ever get a
    stand I think I will try to mount it onto wood first. also just so
    you know, this was a one mill stand, not a huge eletric or double
    mill stand.
