Hi Ken,

Used lead shot in precision grinder base castings to dampen things. Usually with some oil. Worked great. Epoxy Granite works better though.


Welcome!

Dave,
Thanks for the reminder of epoxy granite - that's a material that's fallen out of my memory bank.
At one stage it was popular amongst certain machine builders. I don't know if it still is.

I can assure you , epoxy granite, as well as real granite, is used every day...
