Yes it is! As the other person mentioned it is in fact a Wyze cam. I leave it off until I start a cut, just in case I step away briefly. I try not to run many cuts without being in the room. But I’ll also take photos occasionally and share them with clients when I begin their order
What method did you use to make your doors? Did you make cope and stick doors or some other method. I am going to make a 3’ x 3’ door and have the Freud Adjustable Rail and Stile bits and will be making extended tenons. Just curious how you make your doors since they are quite large. Like you I was intending to put 4 hinges on.
You’ll have to pardon my ignorance, as I have no idea what most of those terms mean!
I actually worked with a friend who makes commercial cabinetry, mostly for the medical industry, to build this. Because of the size of the doors, there are 4 soft closing hinges. I initially really wanted the door to open above with hydraulic lifts or a rail, but he said that single door would’ve been way too heavy.These stay in place so I’m very happy with them!
Well, I will be honest, I didn’t really build it for sound reduction, but it does quiet down the router noise a bit. But my dust collector is really the most noise made and it’s just on the floor below. I am adding some rubber gasket to the interior of the door to stop any dust or debris from getting out of the space between the housing and the doors though.
You mounted that Spindle Enable button on the inside of your enclosure? That would be inconvenient for me. I always disengage and reengage that when doing bit changes just in case the gremlins in the machine decide it should spin up at an inopportune time.
Sometimes I forget to reengage until the router is headed back over to make the next cut. Having to open the door to hit that button would take too long for me.
Yeah, but it’s just stuck with a few 3m Velcro strips. I’ll be honest, I almost always start my cut with the doors open, then close them when things are off to a good start. I’ve not had any issues thus far.
It looks pretty air-tight. If the dust collection is running & removing air, where does the fresh air get in? i.e. you may not need to seal the doors as long as you are using the dust collection.
There is actually a gap all around the doors as well as the holes drilled throughout for cable passthrough, so it doesn’t have any problems with the vac and being too air tight.
