Kress 1050 FME-1 Parts

**cropwell** · 30-01-2017

The Kress Routers are fairly sturdy and well built for what they are, but they have their own collet and nut design. You might find someone selling their whole Kress kit if they are moving on to a VFD and spindle.

Cheers,

Cool thanks, i will keep a look out. I think Kress have forwarded my email to JG Power, a UK based supplier for their products.
What is the difference between a VFD, Spindle and Router?

God i never realised it would get this complicated lol

Routers are generally single phase motors with brushes, not really suited to long switch-on periods. VFD means Variable Frequency Drive and it has 3 phase output at a changeable frequency so you can control the speed and direction of the Spindle, which is a 3 phase motor, usually brushless, so more suitable for continuous use.

Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense now. I'll definitely look into this for the bigger machine.
