Hey all,
Long time lurker on these forums, I'm an Electronic + Embedded Engineer having a go at starting a business. I have need for automated manufacturing, so I've started to get the bits for my first CNC build - I've no doubt I'll post a build log in the coming months. 1m x 0.7m table size, HIWIN rails, closed loop steppers.
I'm just at the point of picking a spindle; I've educated myself a little, knowing that I should be fine with a 1.5KW spindle w/ER16 collet. I'll be using it to machine aluminum primarily, but I expect other materials like wood will be worked on too. This machine isn't intended to be working 'full time' hours.
Really just looking for someone with a bit more experience in CNC to take a look at this listing I'm going to purchase of ebay.. I swear, this post isn't spam.

So, how can I put this...Are these parts ebay sellers are flogging at least half decent? I'm concerned about the spindle falling apart, the inverter bursting into flames or worse.
Cheers for any input on this, really appriciated.
