Hello.
I have an Altmill 4x4. It is in a dedicated 10’ x 24’ room with 8’ ceiling.

I am researching methods to control dust and have a few questions for various methods.

1. Is a shop vac/cyclone adequate for the Altmill or do I need to go full blown dust extraction?

2. How much is noise a concern with 1 1/2 hp units? I was thinking that I would like to find one that is as quiet as possible, but when I’m using the cnc to cut 3/4” ply, it is quite loud on its own. So does a quiet-ish dust collector really make that much difference?

3. To save space (and some noise), I was wondering if it would be beneficial to mount the collector on the other side of the wall so it would be in the garage. Remove and reroute the filter so it is in the cnc room. I was thinking that would prevent the collector from sucking out all of my heat or air conditioning.

Any other ideas to save space and/or noise levels?

I could also start small with the StealthSonic shop vac / cyclone then move up to an actual collector as my needs grow.

Thanks for any thoughts and input.

I’m a male - 5’6” and 150 lbs. I like to wear heavyweight cotton tshirts under long sleeve/flannel/denim shirts.
I do not like to tuck my tshirts and I find that every brand I find is quite a bit longer than they were in the past.

For instance, I have some old Fruit of the Loom Lofteez and Hanes Beefy T that fit correctly. They are about 6-8 years old and approx 25” long.

When I ordered new Beefy Ts, they are now closer to 29”-30” long.

Are there any brands that make shirts that are shorter in length.

Thanks!

I have the Ooni Halo Spiral Mixer on the way. I currently use a Bosch Universal Plus.

I’m wondering what (if anything) I might need to alter in my process (NY style crust) once I start using the spiral mixer.

Currently, I add all ingredients in the Bosch - mix for a minute or so to combine.

Let sit for 20 minutes, then run for 8 or so minutes. Let sit another 20 minutes then transfer to covered bowl for 2 hours. Lastly, divide and make individual balls and throw in the fridge for a few days minimum.

Anything that has to be changed when working with the Ooni?

Anyone care to share their process for a large batch, NY style dough specifically for this mixer?

Thanks for any info - hope this purchase was worth it!
