Hi All..
Have finally decided to get a more light weight spindle (was using a Porter Cable router, veeery heavy)..
I see a lot of you guys are using Kress, and I am sure I saw a post (cant seem to find it now) with someone using a spindle from ebay (hong kong).. I am looking at this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-5KW-AIR-COOL...item2a0792bc32
but have asked some questions of the seller as it does not look like there is any speed control, guessing a spindle control board might be needed..
Which leads me to a question about the Kress, is it possible to control the Kress from a board (speed, on/off etc)?
I have only mentioned these 2 spindles but would like any suggestions from those with more experience than myself.. I will be mainly routing and carving wood, but as I have rebuilt my cnc out of ally (by hand), I reckon I could save myself a lot of time and cash by being able to do light machining of aluminum to make more accurate parts..
Thanks
Steve..
