I made "feet" for mine and they never moved. Not that it really matters with the match hole technology.

Screw in type anchors like tapcons or a Powers wedge bolt can be removed.

If you are using an expansion type anchor, like a wej-it or wedge anchor, drill the hole 1/2" deeper that the anchor embedment. When done, cut the anchor flush with the floor and then drive it into the hole. Epoxy over the top of the abandoned anchor will work.

Here where I work we use a product called BlendCrete by Prospec. Easy to use and tough. Stop by with a bucket and I'll give you some. We have pallets of the stuff.

Precast Concrete Products of Maine
139 Main Street
Topsham, Maine 04086
www.precastofmaine.com

If it's too far of a drive, stop by your local precast plant and they'll probably be just as generous.
