Re: Sound proof box

Thanks every one for the ideas. I should have mentioned that the
Proxxon is a desktop mill, smaller than a sherline with a fairly high
speed spindle.

As Tim stated it is quiet and this is something that impressed me.
The problem is that my when the machine is milling I am working at my
PC and of course the there is the problem of the neighbours. I just
wanted to be playing with it at midnight.

I have added the eggbox foam and I think it has helped. Outside of
my room at full speed it sounds a bit like a hairdryer. It has
certainly cut out the high frequencies but the lower ones remain. I
will try to to some suitable matting for the base but it is doing ok
at the moment with some thin foam. I may make a wood foam sandwich
later. The other requirement is that the box be storable, light and
cheap. I am not sure I want to clad it with anything heavy but
perhaps I can add a second isolated skin later.
