I am building a shop for a single tool 4x4 cnc router.
I also purchased a cv1800 that I plan to vent outside.
My biggest concern is noise as the router will on many occasions be running all day (night).
We have a prevailing trade wind so most of the time the noise get carried and muffled by that a little.
I am trying to decide on how to bring the noise all the way down.
Being in Hawaii I don’t need to worry about cold winters or s hot summers.
I think there will be enough airflow trough the router room due to the dust collection to stop it from heating up. My plan is to put a bunch of 2 inch ports in the walls to bring the air in rather then one large opening.
Currently my plans was to build a building out of concrete block. As I think it will do a much better job of containing the sound the a wooden structure.
The roof would be wood frame foam filled.
I have been reading up on the sound absorbing foams in other treads and mounting the dust collector with vibration reducing feet or wall attachments.
Does anybody have any experience with the concrete block and the use of a muffler on the eaxaust to the dust collector?
Thanks
