I'm getting ready to move my bot from a concrete to a wood floor.

Can somebody reply with a recommendation on what type (and possible source) of leveling feet would one use on a stell table?

Should there be any vibration dampening between the feet and the floor?

Look in grizzly.com for machine mounts. pick one with a large pad. the wooden floor should help dampen any vibration I would think.

I have mine on wood floor. The joist are 12" centers and I have 2X4 under each leg to keep the leveling bolts from digging into floor. I can feel vibration sometimes when moving fast. I have PRT96.

Is it possible to bolt it to the floor?
Seems a couple corner blocks once leveled, some decent shims, and bolt to floor might be desireable but I guess it depends on how stable that floor is.
In general vibration is the enemy so hope it all works out for you.

I was really looking for a "soft" material to provide the vibration isolation TO and FROM the ShopBot. I ended up with http://www.grizzly.com/products/g7159 Grizzly G7159
