My lathe runs really quite quiet when I don't have the gear box engaged, but it's quite noisy when I do. My sons bedroom is right over the garage and after he's gone to bed is usually the only time I have to play. But then the complaints roll in from the warden when I try to run the lathe. It's too noisy, it woke up the boy... yada yada yada...
The noise is split up between the gear train and the gear box. Just usual fast spinning gear noise. I can slather grease on the gear train to quiet that somewhat, but the gear box has oil wicks and drippers.
Is there a grease, or compound, or oil, (in place of the 30wt I use in the droppers) that would aid in quieting those gears?
