what micro under finisher

[windycity]

hi chaps

just wondered what thickness of micro you mostly use under your finishers also just 4 corners or a couple of sheets length ways. my floor is wood.

cheers

I put a couple of full sheets of 8mm micro, some cheap stuff (can't remember which) when I first brought the machine. Haven't a clue of it helps though!

I store all the sheet material at the side of the finisher, much easier to get at when it's needed

My finisher is sitting on laminate flooring, which makes it a little noisier, I have also concidered putting it on a rubber base.

The company that Standard took over used to supply strips of anti vibration material. From memory it was about half inch thick and 4 inch wide, Micro is not stable or dense enough, although it will sufice for a while it is not cost effective as the material is better used to gain profit. you would not put it on the stairs would you!!!

we usually supply anti vibration/noise damping material for the corners although we also sit the machine on whole sheets if the floor is concrete or similar

but you would put carpet on stairs, so whats wrong with putting some carpet cut to size under your finisher,,

Problem is you gotta keep moving the finisher to hoover it...

[Hugh-Candoit (ENG)]

The chosen material has to be dense enough to withstand the constant vibration. Taking into account the total weight of a a modern finisher that rests upon a thin rectangular section of sheet steel then "Carpet or Micro, particularly low density micro or even EVA would not be a suitable choice for this requirement. support at the 4 corners as Peter has mentioned is a cheaper alternative using the proper compound.

Delite is plenty dense enough, had it under my power unit for donkeys years, never budged.

I agree Planet but a bit too good to waste under the Finisher when you can use it on customers shoes for cash.

however having invested a considerable amount of money on your machine, why not "budget" for a couple of sheets of micro or even better the correct anti vibration/noise damping material from the machines supplier!
