Anyone have their equipment on vibration pads? Mainly thinking of compressor and dryer, maybe presses and emb machines.
Idea being to reduce any vibrational noise/feeling. Both are relatively quiet, (comp is rotary) but as I get older I appreciate quiet.

On the same note, what about embroidery room flooring? We've had both finished concrete and now commercial carpet. Carpet
definitely dampens noise but is a nightmare to cleanup threads, any kind of spinning vacuum doesn't stand a chance.

I use this attachment on my shopvac. The press area of the shop (roughly 18x40) is wall to wall low carpet on cement, it was a men's clothing store. Press, dryer and compressor all sit on it.

Machinery felt and adhesive, simple inexpensive solution. Use it to mount all kinds of machinery big and small.
