Hi All,
I have a bench top mini mill but unfortunately live on the second floor of a two family apartment. I don't use my mill nearly as much as I'd like to because of the noise. The machine itself is quiet but whenever I'm cutting obviously the metal to metal is loud. My neighbor is having a baby in a month and as much as I don't want to disturb him I can't bear to not use my mill for the next year while they have a new born. Does anyone have any cheap suggestions for dampening the sound? How it looks doesn't matter to me just as long as it works, so I don't know if some sort of foam core or cardboard enclosure would help, something like this? Any suggestions?
