If you put it on wheels, it will twist as you move it, and you will find it impossible to get a square, parallel cut.

That mill can do a huge amount of work, and you are in for many hours of fun learning to use it!
This forum is all about people in the know helping others.
Thanks for the advice. I did not put it on wheels, and I ordered the level you recommended to get it level.
