Compressor Feet

[rocketman]

OK... did the search, saw a few pictures, yadda yadda yadda. Sounds silly but let's see some pictures of your compressors feet or mounting surface. Mounting, hockey pucks cut to fit, 2X4's, whatever. What I'd like to do is pricy. Saw some nice steel and rubber pads but they are like $50 a piece. I have a tripod 80 gallon vertical tank. 4 legs would be easy... a couple Maple runner/skids with rubber on the bottom to dampen vibration. I don't want a perminent floor mount. I have a 24X22 and may need to move it from time to time.

Show em' if you got em!!

Mine is still monted to the pallet it was delivered on. Gives me clearance underneath and takes up a lot of the vibration/noise.

I'll get pics up when I get a chance.

mine too.

I see most on a pallet. I think bolting it to the floor would cause excess vibration and incresed noise. I've seen hockey pucks with a hole drilled in them, counter sunk a little and bolted to the feet.

Simple hockey pucks. Short lag screws in pucks only. Never moves when running.

Mcmaster parts

you can get basic rubber bottom leveling feet to go on the bottom of that for under $50 for the set

otherwise leave it on the wood pallet (like I have)

Same pic I posted in earlier discussions on this. Adjustable feet from MSC. 2x3 steel tube, cut and welded and drilled (in a drill press to keep the holes square for the feet.

Why such a large "foot print"....why did you go with such a large base?

Three legged compressors are not the most stable things going. This is a 7.5 hp two stage with a very heavy motor and iron pump up top. The base is 4 ft across, which is not that bad, I already had the tubing, and 4 ft seemed about right for stability.

Hockey pucks! Dirt cheap and very stable.

I have a bud that has one, just sits there, never did bolt it down.

Hockey pucks are the way to go.

I like the link with the Hockey Pucks topped with the 3" fender washers. Where can they be obtained without having to buy 100? BORG and Lowe's didn't have em? Didn't see em anyway. Would Blain's Farm and Fleet maybe?

BTW my tank has the legs like the red one above. They aren't flat on the bottom. If they were, pucks would be a no-brainer.
