Water cooled vs air cooled spindle noise level comparison.

The comparison is really unscientific but you can judge by the fact I am speaking normally throughout the video.

I just installed my 80mm watercooled PwnCNC spindle. I'm glad I went with watercooled because of the sound level difference. I just saw your video and it confirmed my decision.

Hi Clinton, that's useful info. Thanks for posting!
-
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

Thank you for demonstrating this for us!

The spindle on the wood resonates louder compared to the other. both should be demonstrated on the same medium. Good presentation, however! keep the great work!

Thanks for this, but it's not exactly a fair comparison because the air cooled was sitting on a large resonating surface, the spoil board, and free to vibrate. The water cooled was isolated up on the rigid gantry. Regardless, the air cooled is always a little more noisy.

Would be nice to chuck a Makita trim router in there as well to hear the real difference between a spindle and a router which most people start off with I reckon. But in the end, the dust collector will probably win that battle as you just pointed out anyway.

if the question of nice is important ? It can be replaced with the duration of work possibility one .And that is the first principal question to be consider . It is not musical instrument to play some nice music .

Thats a noisy fan on that air cooled. My vevor VFD was virtually silent, just light air noise

I am kinda regret choosing air cooled spindle for my CNC, too loud for me
