I believe the oil-free ones actually run in a plastic bore or something for just this reason. I think this also affects their compression chamber sealing ability, which is why they are generally smal

Probably the best idea. Other than that, the first thing to do is try to insulate the "feet" from the concrete. This isn't entirely possible if you intend to fasten it to the floor to keep it from wa
