Mounting to Shop

Floor

Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor for increased stability and vibration dampening. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. If you bolt your machine to the floor, it is necessary to level your machine with a precision level.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 10) and anchor studs are two popular methods for anchor- ing an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more per- manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.
