Hi;

 Mine used to do that in the Garage . I guess they don't like concrete floors . I got an armrest Pad from Auto Zone for a console in my car . It was Sheepskin . The thing hasn't moved for months now !    T.B.     P.S. And , boy is it quiet now !

Super glue suction cups on feet. LOL!

I put one of those rubber patio tiles under mine, the type used for play areas with kids. It does not completely eliminate walking but greatly reduces it (I did it for lower noise, as it sits on a particle board cabinet).  There are pads sold just for the purpose of reducing noise and walking with power tools, but those things are a bit too pricy for me.  For a jig saw I put down a couple of those self-adhesive corkboard tiles, works about the same as the patio tile.

I'd try this stuff or something like it.  It worked for a fan I had that wanted to walk.

put some soft rubber pads unsed the compressor's "feet", it should have enough friction to stop it moving arround.

A foam rubber mat might help

My compressor has been vibrating its way across the cement floor while I'm airbrushing, like a player in one of those old vibrating football games. What can I put underneath it to keep it from wandering off?
