    I'm a beginning woodworker and am shopping for a bench top planer. I have never used a planer before. The more expensive, quieter models are not in the budget and so I'm looking for ways to get a handle on the noise level. I do not have a garage other shop space, which has me setting up...

    Just fixed the rip fence scale indicator fix, but now a new issue is here. I can't find a fix to this issue online. After making a non-through cut, the riving knife started to vibrate whenever the saw is turned on, and when feeding stock through. I have a lot of work to do, and hope I can get...

    I recently added on a workshop off the back on the garage. I went ahead and made it a 2-story addition so that my son could have a new bedroom, too. Both of us are loving the new spaces. The only problem is…..the sound. After he goes to bed, I'd like to "retire" to the shop to knock out some...

    Hey all, I'm about to invest in one of those small sheds to use as a workshop. I don't need a lot of space, I figure a lot of planing and what not can be done outside for the most part. My main concern is noise. Has anyone tried these sheds for a shop, and have any advice on sound proofing to...

    I've searched the internet for a possible explanation of the noise my table saw is making. I can't describe it, so I've made 3 videos. As I was trying to fix the noise, I ended up just doing a total tuneup of the saw (or at least a tune up of everything I was capable of tuning up) So, it's all...

    Please check out the YouTube video I posted. Is this weird "barking" noise from bad thrust bearing(s) whenever I release pressure of the workplace into the blade? If so, can the bearings be lubricated or are they in need of replacement? Thanks all!

    What measure have you taken to reduce the amount of noise/sound in the shop? I'm thinking about acoustic treatment, sound absorbing panels, vibration reduction, etc… In my last shop we had the ClearVu cyclone dust-collection system that was amazingly loud, by far the biggest source of noise I'm...

    Hello, Presently my home woodworking shop is in my basement here in Cincinnati. We live in an older home where the typical lot size is 50' X 140' with neighbors on both sides. In all the 30+ years I've lived in this neighborhood I've only had one complaint and that came from a next-door neighbor...

    I was getting confused about air compressor choices, so I decided to make a chart. My criteria are (1) low noise - below 70 dB, (2) less than $300 (I did a quick price check on Amazon today), and (3) max 50 pounds (and preferably less). Here is a screenshot of my chart, ranked in order of sound...

  12. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    While running equipment in my shop today I missed an important phone call because I didn't hear it ring. I was just wondering how others deal with this issue. Whether you use a very loud ringer/bright light etc. Knowing the wide expanse of experienced woodworkers here, I just know someone has...

    Hey guys! I am relatively new to LumberJocks, but I had a question for all of you. I recently purchased the Ridgid R4512 model table saw, and I just got a chance to assemble it today. So far, I love it! I assembled it all and it looks perfect and when I turned it on for the first time, it purred...

    Hey guys, i have a rubbing noise coming from the interior wall. It is not a water pipe, and it isn't a tree rubbing against the gutter or anything, anyone know what it is??? Feedback is appreciated!!!! '

    Next year, I will be moving my shop from my old house (that I'm currently renting) to my present residence. I spent lots of time and labor to get my 2 car garage into the "perfect" shop before I ended up moving to a different house. The new house has a 18×20 dedicated space for my shop…no more...
  16. Designing Woodworking Projects
    Hi all! After 6 years of sleeping on the floor, I'm planning to build a bed platform this winter. I wanted something simple in look and after a lot of time and designs iteration, I proudly showed my sketches to my wife, whom happily trashed everything and found what she wanted after 15 minutes...

    So I just finished assembling the G0490 and according to the manual, I performed my test run and was supposed to listen for unusual vibration and noise coming from the machine. Well there is some slight vibration and noise but I think that is to be expected. As a new woodworker, this is my...

    Back in September I bought the Central Machinery 2HP Dust Collector. It is doing what all I wanted except when I turn it off it whines down with a horrible screeching noise. I hesitate to start putting grease anywhere. I see on the instructions diagram there is a "packing" washer like thing...

    Hi, I finally have decided to attach the circular saw to my work table. I have seen a lot of designs over the internet and I think I know the way to go from here, or at least I have enough information to start on this project. As I am working in a small room at my apartment, I cant have a lot...

    I recently found my fuel line severed so I ordered a new one and now I must install it. Can someone just guide me using the picture I show you of the old parts. I know that sooner or later I have to run the new fuel line into the tank through the hole in the bottom of the tank (that's where I...
