In my opinion the bottom one is fine http://r.ebay.com/VvZdsW BUT always check the parameters in the vfd before you run it. As they are sometimes wrong.

Huan Yang VFD with Taishi spindle seems to be the best pack according the people at the forums.
No matter what spindle you decide to buy just make sure it has four bearings at Clive has suggested!

Its the vfd that needs to be the correct one.

I didn't write it right so clearly for someone to understand I guess. :-)



I am referring to something that you have notice so many other time to others and to me also,about the four bearing spindle been better than those with three or two.
Of course the vfd must be set up before run mine came with wrong parameters also but the seller provide me with the data on email how to put the correct parameters on the vfd.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Sorry for the inconvenience!

No its no problem Nick. Trouble is there are a couple of different VFD's that look the same but are completely different inside. You can tell by the front panel. Yes you are correct some time they have the wrong params. set.

Hi nr1madman,

Well eh only spindle/vfd is from a Germany warehouse. But still China.

Steppers from UK/ Still China i guess.

Belts from US i think.

Fastners nuts bolts and small tools, local home improvement (Hornbach) store and places like Toolstation.

Cant believe there is no profitable production /distribution possible anymore in Europe.


Ok.

Every thing else is from China directly.
Ebay, Aliexpress.


Some stuff like linear only took 1 week after "shipped" notice.. Carrier GLS.
Tax through invoice after delivery.

Most "free shipping" goods take 12- 15 working days.

Now my drives , bobs, spindle, vfd, 80mm bracket have not arrived yet... so.

I hope to finish fabricating soon.. that is... weeks.


After that wiring.


Grtz Bert.
