We just upgraded to the spindle. Wow, what a difference in noise levels! At full speed, it sounds like my wife's hair dryer on low compared to the router which sounds like a 747 on full throttle! Anyway, my question is, how long do you wait between jobs where you think you would need to run the warm up routine? I do a lot of prototyping and will run the machine for 20 minutes, then spend an hour changing things in the program then going back to the machine. Should I run the warm up routine every time?
