The Other consideration is that I need a cement floor so I can use moible bases.

Hi
I am setting up a wood shop in a basement that is carpeted over a
cement floor. I need to cut the rug away from the shop area, before I
partition it.
But I don't want the rug to unravel where I cut it. Do you think
if I install 2 face carpet tape all along the area where it is cut that
will hold it together, and/or maybe position the bottom plate of the
partition over the "seam" securing the bottom plate with anchors into
the cement (not through the rug),this would keep the carpet from
fraying?
Hope this makes sense?
Th
anks,
Tony D.

Why remove the carpet unless it is a high pile, sculptured weave? I have
a tight weave indoor-outdoor carpet on the floor of my shop. It is more
than 15 years old and still as good as new. It vacuums easily and is
much better than standing on a bare concrete slab.
