Mike,
Here's a quick thought -- What about some sort of
"bracket on a hinge" on either side of the table
that mounts two casters. Flip the
bracket/hinge/casters down for moving, then flip up
and out of the way when the table needs to be
stationary? Don't know how heavy your table is, but
if you can lift it up a few inches while flipping
the casters out of the way, this might work.
Also depends how mobile you want your table to
be...but I guess if you wanted a highly mobile table
you would just weld the casters to the bottom and
be done with it :-)
