Spindle Speed Controller Question

[thomashomer1986]

How much would you be willing to sell it for Neil? Because something like that would be perfect for my machine and I still have the option upgrade to a water cooled spindle later on when I have more money.

What are the sizes/specs?

Good question on both counts....the motor specs are in the spindle thread I think, 1.7kW @ 60A max springs to mind and a max speed of approx 6500 rpm @ 24v....pm me with an offer and I'll have a think if what I want for it...

Thanks Neil I'll have a look through the thread then and let you know.

Is 6500rpm fast enough though? I thought much faster spindle speeds were needed for wood carving?

Thanks for the offer Neil but i think i'm going to go with the water cooled spindle. I think the 0.8kw spindle would be fine for my machine but as the 1.5kw is only about £5 more through the same supplier on ebay i might just go for that one.

Thanks again for everyones help, i will more than likely be posting soon with questions on how to wire it up lol.

No problems, the water cooled spindle is by far and away the best bet!
