Hi guys,
I am nearly finishing my new CNC router and now looking at the best place to source the spindle. I have come to two options. Does anyone have any advise for which to pick?
*1st Option* - Buying spindle and VFD separately - VFD - £56 / 2.2kw spindle - £135 / Total £192
XSY-AT1 VFD - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220V-2-2KW-Spindle-Motor-Speed-Control-Variable-Frequency-Drive-VFD-Inverter-WD/292375102980
2.2Kw spindle 4 bearing version - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CNC-MILLING-ENGRAVING-GRINDING-2-2KW-WATER-COOLED-SPINDLE-MOTOR-ER20-RPM24000/251999417876
*2nd Option* - Spindle and VFD as a kit - Total £209
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOP-2-2KW-WATER-COOLED-SPINDLE-MOTOR-2-2KW-INVERTER-DRIVE-VFD-CE-QUALITY/302621312731
Are there any differences in VFD quality? It seams like the XSY-AT1 VFD is newer but the version in the kit looks like the standard one everyone has used before.
Finally, is the 4 bearing version spindle the best way to go? The price is very slightly more but I will be cutting aluminium so probably would get better life/quality?
Thanks, Jack
