The hardware blanker doesn't seem to do much, it's the software blanker that
cuts it down somewhat (S9 to S4 or so). Believe it or not, he's running a
4-axis vertical milling machine in his garage, with a converter providing
the 3 phase 480 VAC it needs. Maybe the converter is part of the problem,
I'm not sure. The noise is a funny chopping type, reminds me vaguely of the
russian woodpecker of days gone by.
It's an impressive setup really, and cost him a bundle to have riggers bring
it all in, etc. so I'm being patient and hoping the flow of side jobs (he's
a machinist for an aerospace outfit) proves intermittent. Amazingly the
floor of his garage hasn't cracked under the weight yet.

I have found the hardware noise blanker works great for pulse noise. Have
you tried it when your neighbor's work shop is running?
