Recommend me an ATC Spindle

**andy_con** · 21-07-2016

id love to replace the spindle on my machine with a faster one. my machine currently has an atc so its needs to be an atc spindle.

anyone recommend any atc spindles? only needs to be like 2-3kw, nothing silly.

as with everything in life it comes down to cost, but id like some suggestions so I can find out some costs

Is this for a router? What taper type you running?

Mill that's why I posted in the mill section not router ��

I'll buy new tooling if I have to

Sorry Andy, didn't see the whole breadcrumb line on my screen.

Remind us, what machine is this for? The Denford?

**andy_con** · 22-07-2016

it is for my denford triac.

I have two options as I see it.

current setup on the triac is servo motor drives atc spindle via a belt. now looking at the specs of belts I could put one of those Chinese 24k spindles in and replace just the servo motor, but the belt would be right on its limits of speed.

or other option would be to get an expensive atc spindle all in one and replace the whole lot.
current tooling is bt35, but im never going to find a bt35 spindle so new tooling will be required.

The typically 24,000 rpm chinese spindles are not suitable for use on a mill, and won't last long.

AliExpress has a lot of BT30 ATC spindles.
