We bought the 3 HP HSD Spindle with VFD when we got our VR 50 X 50 Velox.

We also have an older K2CNC 24 X 36 inch with the 2.25 porter cable router.

We can hold conversations with either machine running, neither are close to a chop saw.

The router on the K2 sounds like a wood router, loud but not horrible. We try to keep the aluminum jobs for the Velox.

The HSD spindle on the Velox is just a light hum, at least 90% of the noise is from the actual cutting of the materiel. When doing air cuts to ensure proper tool paths, the stepper motors make it sound just like our 3D printers.

One perk of getting it all from the manufacture is the awesome customer support, last year on Day 1 of Build Season a student spilled the contents of our coolant container on our control box for the Velox (completely our fault and we told them so). Velox shipped us a replacement control box at no cost, we just covered the overnight shipping and we were back up on running with minimal time lost.

Great Folks at Velox!
