Ok before the nieghbors get together and convene a special meeting of the HOA and push some iminant domain thing, I am in the process of quieting down some of my tools in the garage, from insulating the walls and dry walling to creating a vibration separation of rubber between plywood on which the planer (Delta 22-780X X5 15") sits on roller frame.
While the rubber/plywood has removed any vibration I used to feel comming up my legs from the concrete floor, the sound is still loud once the vacuum is turned on. When running the planer without the vacuum, its fairly quiet, but once the vacuum is turned on and pulling wind across those blades the planer can be heard a short distance from the garage -not good.
My next move is to limit the amount of vacuum force by opeing another port on the vacuum line. But other than that Im out of ideas and was hoping someone out here would have better ideas.
Thanks, Martin
