What are people using for the feet on the Raptor? George said the threading is M8, I see some rubber bumpers and on occasion elevator bolts, but is there something that works or doesn't work? Too much vibration = movement, etc??? Where to find these?
Wooden floor? Tram the head? I'm not sure I'm seeing this. Simple isolators? Platform mounts?
See the attached picture. The green feet on each corner. These look great, just haven't found them online yet. I plan on resting the router on a 3/4" plywood bench.

I put mine on hockey pucs, m8 carrige bolts, nuts, washers. Drill enough of the puck with a forstner bit to sink the carrige bolt

Those are M12 on that Raptor, newer Raptors has M8Quote:

3- When in doubt, use more bailing wire, duct tape and steel
4- The right tool, is the one you have with you.
5- Yes you can make a pump diaphragm from a plastic bottle.
6- It does not have to be pretty, it just needs to work.
7- When it does not work, refer to rule #1
