Chinese Spindles

[i2i]

I'm looking at at least one maybe two of these BT30 atc spindles, so when you're looking at getting yours let me know. A better search may provide a better or cheaper product so don't rush into this one.
I also looked at the spindle with the motor, but i need to use 6k or less for mill use.

Struggling to see how ballscrews could be considered a lot of work...compared to making an ATC spindle a rotating nut mount is a doddle. Please see what I posted here:

Let me cure your struggle for you... How much will you charge me for two of those units - steppers you designed and built.

A lot of these places seem to have a quantity discount for 5. If there's one that does at least 12,000rpm then I could be persuaded, which would make 5 (Jazz, you*2, ricardoco, me). Bound to have to pay customs charges, but most seem to value them lower than the actual cost so that shouldn't be too bad.

I'll have a better look later as router is running at the moment...
