Default How to decide what kind of foundation is required for lathe.

On Wed, 19 Dec 2007 00:32:30 -0800 (PST), with neither quill nor
qualm, santanu quickly quoth:

Dear All,
I have a lathe which is to be installed on 4th floor in my lab. I want
to know what kind of foundation is required and how to go for it. My
vendor suggests he has some readymade rubber foundations available for
the same. Will that do.
Kindly help.


What size/weight of lathe?

What kind of building?

What kind of flooring?

Lab? Will you be turning your own test tubes and beakers? snort

You guys remind me of the people who used to call up the body shop on
the phone and ask for an estimate for the damage to their car.

When will people learn to give all the pertinent facts to help others
help them? Krikey!
