I'm considering building a cabinet for my contractor saw and router
similar to this:

My biggest concern would be finding stable casters. The casters on my
roll around tool chest easily hold hundreds of pounds and the brakes
lock securely, but there is no way to stop the two swivel casters from
turning.
Any experiences here building one of these saw cabinets? What worked
and what didn't?

Simplest solution would be to buy WoodCraft's Universal Mobile Base Kit
and build your under-saw cabinet with a 3/4" bottom. Bolt the extra HD
mobile base corners into place and you'd have a nice setup. Sets down
on adjustable steel legs, lifts on two fixed and two swivel casters.
I'm using this setup on my Unisaw which weighs in over 420 pounds IIRC,
and it moves, levels, and locks like a charm.
