Next i built an air exhaust port panel out of 2 " polyisocyanurqte Insulation which is basically a box with several baffles at 90 degrees that lets air out of the enclosure but doesnt let sound out. Next i installed another 1/4" lexan sheet in each door to create a double paned door (The door rectangles were built with 2x4s on their sides so the door is 3 1/2" thick), plenty of room for 2 sheets of lexan with a 1" spacer. Next i wrapped the cyclone discharge to the filter with 1" thick armaflex rubber insulafion. I installed 1/4" lexan inside the door rectangles and cobbled up a double hinge so fhe door would open wide. Next i framed in for a 2 door bottom half, using 2x4s, and built 2 door rectangles (2x4). No noticable sound changes at all because rhe bottom half of fhe machine was open. I first started installing 2" thick JM (Polyisocyanurate Insulation that i had left over from another job on the upper half of the cyclone, 4" over the Clearview and 2" on the sides. It has 4" of blown in insulation on top of it.
CLEARVIEW DUST COLLECTOR INSTALL
The ceiling is pitiful, its vinyl siding ceiling plank like excuses that builders install under porches and carports. Not much good for sound attenuation inside the shop but you could barely hear it running outside. My shop walls are 5/8 OSB, stud walls, batt insulation, 5/8"OSB with Hardy Plank siding. I wanted to make the enclosure with removable panels so i could access the upper parts of it, and a large door for access to the trash can and filter. Slick, i started building the closet enclosure around the Clearview without a plan. cyclone then Sawstop when I figured out it would be easier to live without fingers than iwithout lungs! I changed my priorities from Sawstop then cyclone to. This thing nearly sucked the blade off the saw, had the acrylic curtains flapping inside the hood and every bit sawdust flying down the hole! What a change.
CLEARVIEW DUST COLLECTOR TRIAL
This evening I replaced the 4" piping with "6, turned the cyclone on and gave the saw a trial run.
Even with the deltas suction, lexan sides and front curtains the saw seemed to spit as much sawdust into the shop as went into the collection can.
The sliding miter saw is covered by a lexan hood with clear acrylic curtains on the front and has a 4" dust port located directly behind the saw with the Delta 50-760 connected directly to it for dust control. The Hitachi sliding miter saw and Delta band saw is necessary to build blast gates so 6" temporary ducting will be cobbled to them first. It's bearable now and I have to get the rest of my equipment piped in so I'm finished with noise control at this time. The DB level is down to 72 now, from 110-115. I'd guesstimate 24 hours on the cyclone installation and another 30 hours trying to quiet it down. Thanks to a bad wind storm and an tornado I've not had a lot of time to work on it.
