I have an old beast of a lathe (Okuma LC40) with massive motors on it. Whenever the spindle starts or stops or whenever I am rapiding the turret towards/away from the workpiece, I get a buzzing sound through my computer speakers. It sounds like there's a fly stuck in my speaker buzzing and trying to get out. It's obviously just electrical noise during periods of high load.
My computer is on the same electrical panel, but obviously a separate circuit and on the other side of the shop. It's not a deal breaker, just annoying. Is there a cheap and easy fix? I don't want to go adding some kind of transformer, but was thinking some kind of ferrite choke or such I could put on the wires going to the lathe?
Just figured someone else might have dealt with this. I already have a "nice" UPS power supply on the computer with surge protection and all that... but it isn't filtering out the noise. Any solutions?
