Hello,
I am moving soon, will be setting up a new wood shop, in a building previously used for horses. There is a 12' wide cement floor down the center, with 12' wide dirt flooring on either side. I plan on spanning across the barn with wood flooring. I plan on putting the lathe (PM 3520) in the center section. Question: Should I mount the lathe to the cement floor, or to the wood floor? (It is currently on a wood floor, and I get a fair bit of vibration with newly mounted wood. I am hoping the cement is a good idea, that it will help minimize vibration.)
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience/ expertise. Cheers, Rand
