Here's a nice machine made with polymer concrete.

Hey there list,
I've been lurking on and off on this list for a year or so and I was
wondering if anyone out there has done any research into Polymer concrete
castings for machine bases. I have a CMS GT Sprint cnc lathe and the >base
is>made of the stuff. It's actually really neat stuff. It has all of >the
good quaities of real stone and vibration & dampening charactheristics >that
are up to 30 times stronger than conventional materials. I.E. Steel &
Granite. My main objective is to find out the most common ingredients and
proportions for mixes that would be good for small scale industrial
machine >bases. Any info would really help. I want to play around with the
stuff.
Thanks in advance,
Scot
