I don’t like the looks of workbench casters and they are obviously a hazard to toes. However, I bought a set of Bora casters to solve a problem of infeed clearance for long workpieces into table saw and planer. It seemed easiest to the bench than move the two heaviest tools in the shop. The saw and planer both leave tracks in the oak flooring when moved.
It was an impulse purchase and I had not considered how the casters would be mounted to the bench. That turned out to be a problem which led to a solution that also solved the looks and toe hazard problems.
The cross beam for the bench feet has a bit of offset from the bench leg. The caster would have to straddle the offset. I would need to screw through a spacer that would weaken the screws that attach the caster to the leg.

I came up with a better solution, attach the casters to a separate 2x6 and just clamp the assembly to the foot of the bench.

It works great and no benches were defaced by the addition of casters.

The Bora casters work well and do not mar the floor.
