I'm planning on building a stand for my equipment, I've got the design and materials sorted but am stuck on the feet.

The stand will placed on an uneven flagstone floor so in order to get it level this will require adjustable feet, I,'m guessing rubber would be ideal for stone as opposed to metal or wood which could slide?

Any suggestions especially with sources would be appreciated

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not sure.

I had to Google them as I hadn't heard of them before but the images suggest they may be to thin to put a bolt into but without seeing them in the flesh it's hard to say

Rdc cones are adjustable and use a M6 grub screw as the bolt. Easily sourced in greater lengths as required

Have you considered a three point design?

Intrinsically self-levelling.

Thanks for the suggestions guys

I've been doing some googling and am wondering if these-

Are make my system sound any better, to justify an additional £40, than these

If so how and why?

I was looking for some feet for a DIY stand and came across S&W Manufacturing in the US. They have a large range of footers called Level-It. They're not cheap but may be what you are looking for.

I have used a cheaper version, they are for kitchen units. 55mm dia swivel foot and long metal fixing bolt with lock nut. Lots of different ones on ebay, like this:
