My new machine - Guess the make!

[cropwell]

I don't know if it is wise to bolt down a machine which has so much in the way of forces moving around on a horizontal plane, or whether vibration mounts are better. What do the big boys do? ???

I have my pillar drill and Lathe bolted down with M12 studding resin bonded into a 6" thick concrete floor slab, but they don't wallop around the workshop that much.

Cheers,

Rob

Not sure either. I wasn’t planning on bolting. The frame itself is very solid and I believe the rocking will be massively better if I can isolate out my less than solid shed floor. If I bolted to my shed floor I think it would be the same. Spring is in that. The feet make solid contact.
