    Proper mount for a small router

    I'm about to put my home built aluminum 28"x22" router on a wooden table. I'd like the mount to be secure (ie no walking). I'd also like to prevent the table from becoming a sounding board. I think that means that I need to bolt the router to the table but with some sort of vibration inhibition. The base is comprised of 8020 extrusions so I have a number of ways to bolt to the router.

    Will you share your mounting techniques/ideas?

    TIA
