I built this stand a while ago. Finally have space to put to use
First thing is to cut conduit and it is rocking a lot
I admit the bottom is not as flat as I would like even after grinding and straightening with a big hammer. I thought shims will stop it from rocking but the base would start to lift off by the edge as I cut it. .
Will bolting down to concrete help? Sure. But by how much?
My thought is that the steel has some bounce to it, being top heavy the base works like a leaf spring.
Will the redhead wedge type anchor where you torque down to about 25 ft pounds do the job ? Will non shrinking grout take up the void between both steel and concrete?
