Just out of curiosity, how loud is it?



Well... I can't actually measure it, but I had no chance of hearing the
radio at any volume, and that set off the "I'd better wear ear protection "
alarm , Not quite as loud as cross cutting a hardwood tread on the table
saw, but as the sound was constant and that sort of hammer drill feel to it
I felt protection was advisable. I didn't feel the need to put ear plugs in
as well though, just enough to make me think twice about ignoring that
particular safety item.
