Rubber feet for shop workbench - suggestions?

[Hobiedog]

I'm building a bench which will sit on laminated flooring. I don't want to scratch the floor nor do I want the bench to wander. Looking for simple rubber feet. On another small bench, I installed t-nuts on the end of the legs, screwed in 1/4-20 bolts with a jam nut spun on beforehand. Then I bought a set of those round (cup) feet meant for cylindrical legs; the bolt's hex head just sits inside the rubber cup feet. They work OK, but I think I'd like a larger 'foot' than a 1/4-20 hex head and I've only seen t-nuts up to 1/4-20. Thought about a larger lag screw, but over time, any adjustments necessary plus normal wear and tear would probably result in a wobbly foot.
thanks!

I have used those rubber pads sold as anti-fatigue mats -- cut into appropriately sized squares. They are sold by Lowe's and others and usually are gray and come in packages of four. They are quite inexpensive and also work well as anti-fatigue mats.

Rockler, McMaster Carr, etc, sell floor levelers, in Metal and plastic. They come in various sizes and are used on commercial tables, and have a few different threads (I think 2 or 3 common sizes), that should fit in T nuts.

I used hockey pucks and 1/2"-13tpi hardware to make heavy duty levellers.
Drill the pucks to recess the carriage bolt heads, then the thru hole, then add a washer and nut.

The threaded connector was pounded into a slightly undersized hole on the bottom of the bench leg.

And here I sit singing the I'm a dumb**s song. I have used hockey pucks for compressors, but never even considered that.

Too bad, we no longer have a hockey team, I could get some from the team dentist.

Those hockey pucks are awesome!

In the event you don't have junior hockey in your neighborhood, there are also rubber feet available at HD. They're cup-shaped and come in several sizes. They can be glued to a threaded appliance foot. If the cup is too tall, just cut it with a box knife.

made me check ebay for hockey puck lots...they're not too badly priced

The "Play It Again Sam" sporting goods store around here sells them for $1 each.

Thanks guys!

I think I'll try the 'coupling nuts' pounded into an undersize hole followed by a 3/8" bolt or so. Then I'll use some of those 'cup shaped' feet referred to below; they have quite a bit of rubber content and they grip very well. I used those feet on another smaller bench. I'd use the hockey pucks, but I think they're a little too hard for my floor. I just have a feeling that they would slide easier than the cup feet. However for my garage, that's a super idea and I'll try it there on an existing bench that's getting some water apsorption in the wooden legs through the concrete floor.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions!
