is there any way to muffle the noise from stationary elctric power tooks like a Table saw?

Question

I would like to set up a workshop in a residential area and I would like to minimize the noise coming from my power tools.....

Answer 1

Cabinet style saws are quieter than Contractor saws due to their enclosed design, but they require a dust collector, which is noisy. One thing you can do to lower noise levels is use a blade with random pitch teeth, it lowers the ability to set up harmonics in the blade to form a whine from the blade.

Answer 2

Definitely insulation is the answer. Since you will be using an open building or garage, you should insulate the walls as much as possible, and hang fabric from the ceiling like waves to absorb sound. Add some fake trees in your shop to absorb more sound. Basically look for anything that would absorb sound and use it to the max.

P.S. I live by a workshop and I have told them about this same thing, and the sound level has dropped a lot!

Answer 3

You can try putting vibration eliminators under the table saw legs. You can get these at home improvement centers and come in sheet that can be cut to the size you need

Answer 4

MAKE YOUR WALLS 2X6 AND INSULATE WITH 6 INCH INSULATION, USE 5/8 TH'S WALL BOARD, THE BEST TABLE SAWS THAT ARE THE MOST QUIET COME FROM GERMANY, AND THEIR NOT CHEAP
