Talking bout wheels... directional move with fixed wheels is a pita... if you tilt it, the footprint increases and is a PIta... and if there is a hose attached it becomes a PITA. I recommend as large a free moving, lockable caster as your project can afford. If you are concerned about the COG due to the additional height, may I suggest outrigging them, and I'm confident some time in the future you will need to nudge it just those few extra centimeters and thank me.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
