Gene, I feel it! I would only suggest to look for high quality, dB rated ball bearing cooling fans.
I had a fan go bad in my car inverter in my truck. It was HORRIBLE, like listening to a whining child. I bought a new dB rated fan from Digikey. The difference is astounding. I almost cannot hear it at all. Thanks for the compliment. I started out with quality iron, it really helped. i On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 10:37 PM, gene heskett <ghesk...@wdtv.com> wrote: > On Friday, March 04, 2011 11:27:12 pm Igor Chudov did opine: > > > I embedded my video on this page: > > > > http://www.chudov.com/projects/Bridgeport-Series-II-Interact-2-CNC-Mill/ > > > > The video shows more or less everything that the mill is capable of: > > moving in all five directions, drilling cycle, rigid tapping, coolant, > > spindle forward and reverse, and cool 5 axis simultaneous moves. > > > > many thanks to all > > > > i > > That is so sweet I'll have to take extra metformin after watching that. > And, compared to my stepper setup with its howling cooling fans on the > xylotex board, plus the howl of the steppers when they are only running > 1/8th step, the differences in the noise level are amazing. > > My cooling fans on the 4 axis xylotex are dual, one blowing in one end of > the box, the other sucking out the far end, with the box made to fit the > fans outside measurements, 12v dc salvaged PSU fans running on about 19 > volts so they are running about 9k rpms.
