What do you all do to keep your Yong Heng compressor from dancing across your floor during filling. I’ve had some that stay put, but this one in particular vibrates across the floor if I don’t hold it in place. Any tips are much appreciated.
This Yong Heng has legs.

PNW,
Hate to say this but that much vibration suggests something else is going on, I'd inform seller. WM

Not always. Depends on the flooring as well.
I suggest getting a roll of cabinet/shelf liner, cut a section, and setting your compressor on top when you run it. I use a piece under my Alkin that walked on my vinyl flooring in my laundry room. Works perfectly.
Here is a link to see what I'm talking about. Bought mine at the dollar store.

That stuff is also useful on the workbench
It traps all the little air gun parts so they do not roll off or bounce onto the floor

like springs especially... springs are the best to try to locate on a shop floor, or anywhere near a lathe.

GA, OP said he'd had others that stayed in place, this particular one vibrates across the floor. Of course, he didn't say all were used on the same floor, just figured if "dancing " one was on different floor surface OP would figure out that was the reason. Either way, you made a valid point and offered a helpful suggestion. WM

The safety spring and ball from a crosman 2240 is virtually impossible to find when lost. I just keep spares.

I've launched way to many springs and detents off into orbit over the years. They're a part of NASA's floating space junk map now.
Me: (Concentrate... Be careful...) Almost got it....
Part: 3, 2, 1... LAUNCH!
Me: Well poop...

I have 3 of the YH and they all walk across a bench while running if you let them. I rigged a bungee up to keep it in place on the bench.

Rules of the Coil Spring:
1. They don't want to be were they are!
2. They don't know where they want to be!
3. They will use all avalible energy (gavity, potiental energy, et al) to be in the most difficult retrieval location.

My YH stays put when running. It resides on a countertop (tile over plywood) in a utility room off my garage. It's noisy but doesn't dance around.

A lightweight plastic patio furniture side table will absorb the vibration of the compressor. The small surface area of the tables feet are a mechanical diodes. Fancy versions with the shelf sitting on four points (mechanical diodes) are used in the high-end audio world for isolating sprung turntables.
