Hey Pascal, I know the video of Mitz’ enclosure, the advantage is clearly he thought of reaching any part of the work area, also from behind, and the enclosure slides back on the front so you don’t knock your head. But I don’t think it will do much noise reduction :frowning: [image] pasge: I s…

Aiph5u, i have to thank you very much for all your input and time. As a start i’m going to build the enclosure as shown from Mitz’ video. The drag chain and cables from etsy will be good enough for me to start with. I will start with a Makita router and if time has come to switch, i’ll have gather…
