My shop floor is concrete as the building was originally a 3.5 car "garage". I make use of anti-fatigue matts from ULine throughout. Some were purchased directly for the shop and a couple are long strips that were originally in our kitchen (brick floor) galley area but got too worn looking for that purpose. The ULine stuff is nice quality and available in a variety of sizes including long rolls if one wants to do a large area. The only area I keep them out of is where I spray. You can see examples in this pano photo from the northeast end of my shop. (more have been added since) The piece at the J/P was cut out to fit around the machine. I did similar at my lathe (not in this picture) and there's a 14' long x 3' wide strip along the whole length of my miter saw station down in front of that big window in the background. The reason for the uncovered area between the J/P and the slider is because I cut down the right side table of the saw a year and a half ago to move it back for better material handing and that meant the matt moved, too. I'll fill that in next time I have an appropriate scrap available.

The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...
