Part of the reason I needed to build this is that my wife is working on the other side of the wall during the same times that I like to go out in the shop and work.<br /><br />This makes it inaudible to her. <br /><br />Plus, I don't need to wear hearing protection. I still wear eye protection when I'm watching through the doors. I don't have complete confidence in the ability of plain acrylic to stop a flying bit. I may upgrade the doors to Lexan this winter, though.saundbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05472603072142005189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581307197111318645.post-73910066252552631972012-09-08T05:13:37.190-07:002012-09-08T05:13:37.190-07:00Nice enclosure.

Out of interest, how much does it reduce the noise by?<br /><br />I live in a unit and I'm looking at buying a Microcarve machine (specifically John's BBOX); however as there are a number of neighbours in relatively close quarters, noise is a bit of an issue. I was thinking if I do get a CNC machine an enclosure would probably be necessary and could even be lined with foam.Mackahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834930186535403898noreply@blogger.com
