We had to buy a new machine about a year ago..new one was banging and crashing about while starting to spin. Concrete slab on top of wooden floor and polystyrene blocks wedging the top against the walls. Previous machine was relatively quiet in same location. Complained to manufacturer and they...

Hello, anyone any thoughts or experience on what sort of loading I can put on my workshop base. I have a 7.5 x 4m 200mm reinforced concrete base,.. originally I was going to go SIPs and clad in composite,.. but never been 100% on that ( seems that for Scotland, brick and slate etc. Is more...
