Hi folks, I am thinking of putting 100mm castors on A workbench I am building (7' long) . . .Do castors affect the stability of the bench much? Thanks Phil.

When in use a couple of wedges are kicked under the two legs on the castor end to suit the floor and lift the wheels off the ground and stabilize the bench.
