It might be worth the extra $20 to move up to the 1300 pound version of the base. I agree with the comment on the cost of good casters--$70 or $90 for the base isn't too far above good caster pricing.
BTW--i've got an old version of that D2057 base, and one of the swivel casters delaminated. Grizzly shows them as discontinued, but they had a few left at $7.95 each. I just bought a pair yesterday. Hole spacing is 1 1/2" x 2 3/4", which is hard to find today--and the 4 different 3" casters i had in my shop would not have worked even if i drilled the plates.
