Sieg X1
rleete:
Not sure about the X3, but I get more chatter, squealing and motor noise from the lathe than the mill.
I run mine in my basement, and the wife watches TV on the floor above (opposite corner of the house, though) without any problems. She also gets on her computer (directly above the lathe) and never has complained about the noise.
Darren:
My workshop used to be in the basement till I moved into the garage....
My other half only ever complained about the noise the mill made....not really complained, just mentioned it....
A LOT.... :poke:
28ten:
Darren, Was that because of the material you were cutting or the underlying noise of the machine?
rleete, I like your post :D that sounds positive :thumbup:
Obviously I shall have to go and see/hear one running

even better news, I explained the story of the x1 and Mrs 28ten says I can have an X3 later this year :jaw: :beer: I even told her that I would have to strip it down in the kitchen to get it downstairs!

John Hill:
My XYL sits in the room directly above where I operate my lathe and the little shaper and never mentions the noise. all hammering, bashing and most of the cursing happers in the other workshop at the other end of the house.
As for moving stuff, I am a great believer in having the necessary tackle available for such jobs. If you can find a way to move it using a chain block you can safely move a couple of tons slowly, surely, safely and with absolute control.
