I'm not sure why this is supposed to take hours, just stick '2.2kw spindle' in the search box and sort by price and a few minutes later you'll find this:
UPDATE 2.2KW WATER COOLED/ER20/JAPANESE BEARING SPINDLE MOTOR AND 2.2KW MATCHING INVERTER-in Other Machinery from Industry & Business on Aliexpress.com
£229.70 at time of writing, with shipping via Fedex or DHL so within 3-7 days. The spindle I ordered from ali-express most recently came without customs charges, although that was one with lower run-out and ceramic bearings so more expensive.
Damnit Jonathan, I was going to get the 1.5kw but for about £40 extra I can upgrade, need to save a little longer now. :D
Remember the collets are genearally smaller an the 1.5kW spindles. That's probably a bigger concern than the power difference.
I'm trying to decide if I will ever need larger sized bits, at the moment I dont, but if I do in the future it will only be for foam.

Sorry for off topic: best to pay that wilfy or they'll set the debt collectors on you, from my experience anyway. After that happened to me I used DHL for a similar order and they paid the import VAT for me and said I didn't owe them anything! :DQuote:
