    attach machine to building

    I plan to move to a condo or small house in a couple years. having to downsize my machine tools is going to be an issue. The small stuff just don't look rigid enough for my needs.

    A fella on the zone attached his X3 to a brick wall and got a big improvement in rigidity. The light came on, "Build a machine designed to bolt to the corners and floor of a concrete block room."

    Has somebody else allready done this?

    I would be cautious in doing this in a residential building shared with other tenants. You could be creating a sound/vibration problem for other areas of the building without realizing it.
