Speeds - I can't go outside and cut because I live on the Upper East Side in Manhattan! Not to mention, I do my best to keep my hobby "invisible" to my landlord/neighbors. I'm not breaking any rules, but I can't imagine they would love the fact that I run a CNC Mill in my apartment (albeit only a TAIG).
Pinman & Digits - thanks for the suggestion! Perhaps I've just been tainted on my small, cheap, crappy & noisy grizzy band saw. I'll have to look into a delta (perhaps a smaller unit, as I'm quite limited on space). I'm sure 66db would be fine.
