Quiet router sound pressure level query.

[reuven bigos]

Greetings

May any of you people measured (or may measure) the sound
level pressure (DB) off-load that triton 2400W 3.25 hp router
producing

in
(a)25,000 RPM
(b)8,000 RPM

I desire to buy a router that is quite as possible.
Thank you in advance for the information.

Thank you.

Quite or Quiet,
I just bought a Triton router from Carba tec and at its highest rpm you would need to wear earmuffs just to cut down the noise a bit. but at its lowest rpm about 800rev/m you would need to wear any earmuffs, but it would be better to for hearing sake.
Hope this helps, just a question why do you need a quiet router?

greetings jimdave

indeed i meant quiet .

it was not clear to me, did you mean that at 8000 rpm,
i will not need ear mufflers ?

The reason is high sensitivity too high pitch sound.

best regards

All motors with brushes will be noisy... Practically all hand held electric tools.

I have found that the electronic Hitachi is a lot quieter than my Triton.

Ear protection is cheaper and easier to find than a router that doesn't make a high pitched squealing noise. (even a Dremel makes a fair bit of noise for its size). $30 gets you a pair of good earmuffs (get them from an industrial clothing/safety store, not from Bunnies)

Spindle moulders are very quiet

Sure are, they use an induction motor rather than a universal/DC motor.

Still think Master Splinter is right...use ear protection!!!

Spindles don't get the high rpm though.

The original enquiry asked for no load noise levels.

While I would generally agree with all comments to date, I would add that running a router no load is a pointless exercise, and noise levels will increase significantly as soon as you put the beast to work on a piece of wood.

Simplest to bite the bullet and accept that you will be working with muffs and safety glasses as a minimum whenever the machine is running. If you need extra hearing protection, you can wear disposable plugs under muffs.

Agree. My Triton is much noisier under load than without load. I'm assuming your Emerald is the one in Victoria and not in Queensland when I say there is a very good Industrial Safety shop in Hoddle St just left off the Eastern Freeway if you're in town anytime soon.
