Hi.
I am considering buying a OPTIMUM BF20L VARIO mill.
It's weight is 115 kilogram and can take a load of 55 kilogram.
Worst case scenario would be 115+55= 170 kilogram weight.

I live in a flat, which makes soundproofing very important.
I have material to build a big soundproof box to reduce the sound going through the air.
That part is probably solved.
The problem is the sound moving via direct mechanical contact from the mill to the floor.
Would this do the job?
Thick layer of foam of 12 cm thick, 75 cm wide, 100 cm long, of a matras of a bed.
Thick wooden board on it, possibly re-enforced with steel bars to reduce bending.
Then the 115 kilogram optimum BF20L VARIO on top of the wooden board.
A small test showed the height of the foam will only become a few centimeters less with the 115 kilogram on it.
The mill has a cross table.
When the table with work piece moves to the right the weight will shift.
Which will make the mill lean over to the right side.
Same to the left when the cross table moves to the left.
How bad is this for the mill and milling ?
And during operation the mill will vibrate more, and maybe even start shacking.
Because the mill is not fixed to the ground, but standing on foam.
Will this vibration be bad for the mill and the milling ?
Would appreciate an answer very much.
Because if i can not solve the soundproofing problem there might not be a hobby mill for me :-(
:-)
Thanks.
Vroemm.
