Table brakes for welding table

[Bday]

Built a welding table. I'm in need of a good source for heavy duty table brake system. Any help greatly appreciated!

Get QUALITY casters with wheels.

Or buy Floor Locks. Some examples:
McMaster-Carr

Look at post #19 here: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/236687-picture-welding-table.html

That's the idea I am going with when I build mine.

You can always build your own brakes.

Do you mean brakes on the castors or a sheetmetal brake mounted to the table ?? maybee just me being confused.....

I used a couple of scissors jacks, but the table is so heavy, I'm finding I don't really need brakes.

That's a good idea too! Anything to save a little $. I think making my own is the way to go. I figured at least $200 if I buy the brakes.

Anyone use trailer jacks?
Placed near the casters it would allow you to immobilize the table once it's where you want it.
Added benefit would be the ability to level the table and get four legs in contact with an uneven surface.
