I know that it is subjective, but I'm gonna ask it anyway.
This is for people that have both 9x20 and 7x10/12/14 lathes. I have the 7x12 with metal gears lathe and its noise level about 80dB not while cutting but just running at full speed. I'm thinking about getting a 9x20 lathe. Is 9x20 noisier than 7x12 with metal gears?
My shop is in the spare bedroom and I don't use my machines in the middle of the night, but I don't want to annoy my neighbors if the 9x20 noise can be heard outside.
Thanks
