Re: RF-45 mill

It didn't seem too noisy. my mill drill with the sheet metal cover closed
on top, seems noisier. The old Index knee mill, with a wore out spider on
the drive pulley is definitely noisier. After being around CNC routers for
12 years, a milling machine isn't too bad :)
It seems like the stand and everything that is attached to the mill would
contribute to noise. Right now, my old mill/drill stand is filled with 200
lbs of sand and I have removed the sheet metal cover on top. That has
definitely helped.
