I am thinking about a vertical spindle for my centec 2
after a quick search through the forum i found many great threads on small home made spindles (most of which featuring ER type tooling) but little to nothing to do with beefier designs
my questions are...
1) has anyone tried transposing the same techniques to machining a larger spindle featuring a NMTB or R8 taper?
2) should i even bother with a home made spindle or should i hold out and just shoe-horn a bridgeport type head on to it (that certainly would be interesting)
the machine would be primarily for cutting aluminium but it needs to be capable of machining steel
any ideas or recommendations are very welcome
cheers everyone.
Jonny
