This is very interesting.

I have looked into getting a garage CNC, what did you realize after the home install that you needed a legitimate location? The size and sound of it?

Many reasons. I tend to overdue things so I spec’s pneumatic devices that required a large 10 bar compressor. I installed that in the basement and managed to muffle the sound with rockwool. I ordered a German machine which was to sensitive for a VFD so I used a motor-gen set which shook the 1879 New England farmhouse.

The space for the CNC had low ceilings and it was cramped. I could have lived with it but considering the other issues I moved.

I thought the move would be fast no way would it take more than 2 years. The money I was saving for runway is now an 8 unit apartment building but I have time and space.
