Vibration Isolators?


Recommended Posts

I have just fitted some shock absorbers / vibration dampers between my treadle hammer and the main upright beam it is attached to at its back, as well as putting some rubber sheet between the wood at its base and the floor. The rubber sheet is actually from a big industrial conveyer belt, and is about 5/8" thick; the dampers were intended for isolating a large air-compressor from the floor. I have only used the hammer once since installing these things and there was a big difference to the noise made and to the shock transmitted to the building. Should have done it long ago...
