Yes I think you are right. It shouldn't be making that noise - even if it is cheap! It's coming from the machine. Maybe I will ring proxon and show them how loud it is!

Thanks everyone for all your replies. Got a proxon and it's fine - does the job that we need it to do. Only trouble is that it's very noisy! Hutzel. I do hope your hobby is giving you some well-earned results by now! I'm sure practice and persistance will pay off eventually :)
