First CNC build 2x1.5 meter

[AndyUK]

Well not really, iv been told that the quality of the spindle varies a lot, while they also offer a china model I was kinda hoping that getting it through a European country would give me some warranty or at least a quality check before I got it

The cynic in me thinks that the European ones are imported Chinese ones with a mark-up. I guess the mark-up might help pay for a warranty.... :/

I got my 2.2kW water-cooled spindle + VFD direct from China through Fred @ BST Linear (an often-recommended supplier on these forums). Seems alright.... advertised as having (get this) *FOUR* bearings, and pump, and hoses, and an ER20 collet set, etc etc. Was about as cheep as you'll find elsewhere, and if I'm going to put faith in anyone from thousands of miles away, Fred appears to have earned it on the all the other items I've bought and the transactions I've heard about.
