Default "Dancing" machinery - how to make them stay put?

I took a look in my Mcmaster catalog. There must the hundreds of
different sheet rubber formulations and thickenesses.

Any clue whether to go thick or thin and how soft?

I'm thinking 1/8" soft neoprene but it's just a guess. Any idea how
down to the best sheet rubber for machinery?

My buffers, grinders, brushes like to dance on my concrete garage
floor. A few of them have been anchored into the floor. The rest of
them need to be repositioned frequently so I can't anchor them.

What's your favorite method of keeping rotating machinery for dancing
across the floor.

I've tried scrap carpet, rubber matting, etc.

Do you have a favorite method??

At Princess Auto the other day I saw what looked to be clear silicone
gell pads 1/4" thick with 3/4" dia buttons 1/2" thick in about a 4"
square. I bet these would stop the dance but doubt they would support
much weight.
