I am going to be planning a small (13x24 or 30) addition to my new workshop that I am trying to finish up, but need some suggestions as to the best way to plan the floor. Has anyone spec'd out a floor for a machine shop? If so, I am looking for ideas how to pour it. Do I need to create a raised pad, or just making the floor thick enough (6-7" of 5000psi concrete would I think suffice?) would work? Do I need to put anchors into the concrete to attach the machine to? Also, does anyone know the minimum ceiling height this machine needs for full vertical extension? I thought I remember at least 12', but it's been a year since we had talked about it. Any thoughts and suggestions on these things would be appreciated.
Thanks!
