complicated subject title i know!
trying to find place to move my studio now that i have the vms70.
worried about vibrations while cutting etc.
space 1: building on main road(small town). road/sidewalk front door.
lathe would be in concrete basement floor 15 ft off the road of so.
some neoprene cushioning at the corners etc
space 2: 3 buildings away from train tracks.
other spaces i am not worried about vibrations(3 and 4)
any insight??
thanks

You may or may not have a problem. Does a pan of water show ripples from these vibrations? If so, you're in trouble, although even if it doesn't you still could get low frequency groove modulation. RCA used to 'float' their lathes at Rockefeller Center; evidently the throbbing subway two floors below street level carried through the steel structure to the upper floors. Your neoprene idea will effect a low-pass filter for higher-order vibration, but low-end rumble will come through anyway. A good way to check this is by wedging a ribbon microphone against the cellar wall with a concrete block... good coupling to the building itself. Pipe the mic through an amp and watch the speaker cone when "...the train comes rumblin' through."
