    Also a lot quieter than the Kress
    Thanks for the link, though I think you've both persuaded me now. Persuaded me to wait at least.
    I'm not too bothered about <5000rpm as my brushless motor spindle will do up to 6000 at much higher power. Having said that I don't know what the runout will be like. Maybe I should make it, flog it and then buy the spindle you're suggesting.

    What power rating do you think would be suitable? 1.5kw? I take it they're rated by input power, not output - if so what is the efficiency?

    £700 for a Bridgeport sounds good. They had two at school (sold 1 last year ), no comparison between them and my milling machine...I'm jealous!

    My mill was 300, plus 20 and 2 cups of tea for them to deliver it. Another 20 for a massive milling vice, and yes...lots lots more on tooling. Not bad considering it's £800 new:
