Hi Eddie
The CarveWright and Compucarve machines are Not the equipment you want to take to the flea market THEY ARE Very ,Very Loud they come with muffer but it's junk...
I didn't check the DB but I would guess it's in 80 to 120DB and ear plugs are must for anyone near them...when they are running..
I'm not sure how you would get around that,,, DB is DB ...you could build a air tite case but then you would run into the heat and dust error .... many have made a vac. pickup system for them and duck the muffer system into the vac box but they are still loud because of the router running at 24,000 rpm....
One other item you may want to think about is that they are NOT fast,some jobs can take two hours or more...for just a simple sign....
The only thing I would suggest is take the orders for the signs and get paid up front then make them in your shop...then call them for a pickup or ship them out by mail/UPS...
OR
You may want to pickup one of the MilesCraft Sign Kits and stick with just the stardard letters and numbers,,,I have seen many sign makers at the flea markets and they do make many bucks making personalized signs quick but then you still need to put up with the router making others a bit tick off...
They are loud..

What about the noise factor of the machines and these events? Is that a problem and if so, how do I over come it? I am really wanting to to get stated soon with this. I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
