Ultimate Soundproof CNC Machine Enclosure for Woodworking

I custom designed this enclosure myself to facilitate noise suppression but still allow for proper air flow to keep the tools from overheating. By using a custom baffle system this keeps the unit quiet and cool (ish). An Ultimate CNC machine enclosure!

If you sold these, I'd be the first in line to buy one. This is amazing.

Very nice looking build and it seems to work very well. I applaude your addition of the fire extinguisher to the top. However, You really should also mount one in the area where your shop vac, dust collection as well as the power strips. That area could also be an area that would be a higher instance of fire. With all the sound proofing foam, any small fire is going to grow exponentially due to all that foam. Just a thought from an old retired firefighter. :)

Very nice CNC system. My CNC is on a cart with drawers, but the enclosure so far exists only in my head, and now I'm weighing incorporating some of your ideas. Thanks.

I just ordered my onefinity July 4th. 10 weeks of waiting! But I can start this enclosure.

Great idea. I think you could sell some plans to the CNC cabinet build. Enjoying your content and the personable/ comfortable manner you have with the camera and mic.

Thank you so much for this. I'm just getting into CNC, still shopping for the machine, and this answers my worries about a home shop for, not only noise, but for dust as well. Awesome and thank you also for keeping your videos free of the buffoonery, memes, and other attempts at comedy that so many try to incorporate. Well done.

Great job! Very effective soundproofing. (And Bender is a nice touch too!)

Great job with your enclosure. I appreciate your time sharing on video.

What a nice enclosure. You have thought about lots of details. Amazing! I don't have much problem with noise because I will be using the spindle and the 1.5 hp is in the closet next to the CNC router but I do want to have a see-through thick plexiglass enclosure from three sides just for safety reasons as I have kids coming sometimes. Also, I like the remote system you have installed. Thank you. I like the camera idea too.

This is so cool and better than anything I could build. I've read that sound travels more fully through thin materials but has difficulty traveling through really dense material. So I'm wondering out loud if using maple instead of plywood would also make a difference in effectiveness. (In fact, I'm sure I'm right, so tear that dang thing apart and rebuild it! Just kidding.) Of course this idea would also involve more money, which is always an iffy proposition.

Love the camera idea as well as the generally super useful nature of the build itself!

[jrey]

Great cabinet idea! Thanks for the inspiration.

[joeygleason]

Awesome video man, so many great ideas. One question though, could you go into a bit more detail on how to construct the baffles? What material is used, exact design, things of that nature. Having a hard time picturing exactly what a cross section of the baffle looks like. Keep up the great videos!

[ToddHalvorsen-rokb]

That is a very nice build and well thought out. Keep the videos coming.

[RonaldMcCowan-fg]

Great idea. I am looking at the long mill as well and need to keep it quiet. Do you have plans available?

[joehanika]

Rush the market. I like the strategy and the videos. Keep up the good work.

[craigfehr]

Very cool enclosure!
Love the channel. A suggestion for a video is a little more background on you, how you started woodworking, why you started a channel, and what you have for businesses (you mentioned you have 3 of them, I believe)

[studiogerk]

Nicely done. I have a project along these lines in my near future and you've given me some ideas, specifically the baffles. My build is going to have another layer or two (sonopan and drywall, mostly because I have the materials already). I'm a bit tight for space otherwise I'd do an air gap as well! Given how well yours is working I think that would be overkill. I just need the same sort of thing as you, not perfect silence. Thanks for sharing!

Hello, Nice compact soundproof design you made . I agree the sawdust is going to drop every time you lift open that door, so when I make mine, I will
have to change the lift open to fold down and be removable, which would also "pass thru routing as well for the ability to vacuum without covering the tool draws with saw dust. Just to clarify, you glued the grid to the at the bottom and sides, but left the top free to "flex" "not glued, which supports the final MDF layer which the router table rests upon? My understanding of tortion table is only one side is glued to the grid.

How do you like the Longmill? I’m in research mode for a CNC and this one is on my list.
