I'm adding a 2nd floor onto my 24 x 26 attached garage that will
become my shop. A major concern I have is vibrations xmiting into the
house, particularly from a Delta contractors saw and a Delta 16"
bandsaw, but also planer, drillpress, etc. Does anyone have any
recommendations on how to alleviate these issues? Anyone have any
experience doing this?
The easiest thing I've been able to come up with is putting all of the
stationary tools on vibration dampers. The problem here seems to be
selecting the correct dampers since they're all based on weight and
frequency. I'm also concerned about what this might do to stability
and levelness (especially the tablesaw in relation to other surfaces
around it that get used for helping support stuff while I cut.)
Thought about trying to install something between house and addition,
but I can't do that with the existing garage which I assume then makes
this unworkable.
I've floated floors in studios, but these were all cement. Is there a
good and relatively inexpensive way to float a wood floor?
Thanks,
Aslan
I have a shop on the second floor of the garage which is attached to the
house. Vibration is not a problem;. The lack of vertical walls is
definitely a problem! Its amazing how much space is wasted by not having
walls for shelving etc.

I agree with Barry.

Yes, wait until you're sure you HAVE an issue first. <G>
Noise is one thing, but if the tools you've listed are properly
operating, vibration shouldn't be anything a rubber mat couldn't
handle.

If it does become a problem, try some hockey pucks as dampeners.
