My employment provides me with a W-2 at the end of the year, and I currently have taxes withheld from my paychecks. In the opposite of this question, Pay estimated tax using W-4 withholding instead of quarterly payments, I'd like to know if I can elect to have zero withholdings from my paycheck and instead make estimated payments with a 1040-ES.
In this case, I have a generally good idea of my exact tax liability, so I can easily make quarterly payments without trying to predict fluctuating income. I'd just like to make sure it's legal to make quarterly estimated payments if you have income that would ordinarily pay taxes through withholdings.

You can't do that.
You can't directly control the amount that is withheld from your paycheck. You can only indirectly change it, by using form W-4. When filling out form W-4, you aren't supposed to write an excessive number of allowances. The allowances have to be justified by your tax situation.
Specifically, IRS pub 505 states "You can claim only the number of allowances to which you are entitled." and "You may have to pay a penalty of $500 if [...] You have no reasonable basis for those statements or allowances at the time you prepare your Form W-4."

I should have just looked at the W-4, because, interestingly enough, I can't just enter a withholding amount (like I can with my DE-4)
