Yes and Yes.  You will want it lagged down well.  There is a lot of
rotating mass when it is full of cappings and if it is a little off balance
(which it will likely always be to some extent) it will be really hopping
if not lagged to the floor.  I owned a JR for one season before upgrading
to the SR.  They both work best when the cappings are warm and added
gradually a little at a time during extracting.  Trying to add whole pails
of cappings (even when prewarmed) is less ideal.  When out of balance, they
can be a pain to get back into balance.  The SR in particular takes a long
time to stop spinning after power is removed.
