Does anyone have any suggestions for dampening the vibrations of a
scroll saw? Due to space limitations, I have to use an existing table
top for my saw. I thought I had the vibration under control, but a
bottle of pigment on the other end of the table told me otherwise.

I seem to recall a place that sold isolating rubber pads that you
mounted under the saw, but now I can't find any reference to anything
like this.

The kind that pull against a spring and then release can never be tamed.
That's why all the good ones have parallel arms now. If they're built
right, you should be able to mount them to a board which clamps to a bench
and work with no vibration. Doesn't take a lot of money to get a pretty
good saw any more, either. When I got mine they were 500 bucks.

Letting it bounce against rubber isn't my idea of how things should go.
Adjust the speed of saw or feed if required, and watch blade suitability.
Make sure the hold-down shoe or your fingers are doing their job.
