National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Noise Control Technology for Selected Woodworking Machinery.

PB84145499

Publication Date	1976
Personal Author	Hart, F. D.; Stewart, J. S.
Page Count	116
Abstract	Methods to minimize noise produced by vibrations and aerodynamic phenomena in the woodworking industry (SIC-2511) are examined. Sources of woodworking machinery noise and associated control procedures are described. The control of workpiece vibration noise, tool vibration noise, and machine vibration noise is considered. It is noted that while total acoustical enclosures are useful in many instances, they can be cumbersome and yield reduced efficiencies in certain cases. Two cases for which considerable difficulty arises in the use of total enclosures are the surfacing of long materials where it is not practical to totally enclose the entire source, and the circular sawing operation for which total enclosures are often impractical. These two cases are discussed in considerable detail.
