CNC Spindle choice and supply options - 2.2 kw water cooled spindle and VFD

[Kitwn]

Paul,
That looks a lot like a Huan Yang product, which might explain the HY part number! I bought mine on AliExpress from the Huan Yang Drive shop nearly 3 years ago and have had no problems. Bought as a pair the drive was pre-configured for the spindle. Obvioulsy there may be delivery delay differences and a very different level of after-sales support than you will get from a local supplier, but it might be interesting to compare their prices. Note that the mounting was not included in the price shown.

I don't think there's much stuff on my mill that isn't from Aliexpress except for the base machine itself
When buying large items like motors etc, have to factor in getting stung for import tax.

My Lichuan 1.8kw servo cost me £309 at the time (is a lot more now) and I think the tax on it was around £86 all told.
I've only managed to fully bench test it so far.
Recently had psu's, isolator boards, sensors, fuse blocks, filters, rj45 stuff, DB cables and terminals & other misc. Smaller stuff generally gets past.
Never had issues, can be fractions of cost compared to uk, some things are just plain not available here either.

Next I'm saving up for some Delta servos and I might get a signal light tower just for fun.
