Hi Steve,

Nothing much to comment on really other than well done looks nice strong machine. Good start for first build make it earn and you'll soon have enough money for Mk2 which can have few more bells and whistles like profiled rails.

Only comment regarding spindle cooling is that if bucket of water isn't cooling it then probably pushing settings little too hard. I've run my spindle for BIG hours with 20ltr bucket of water cutting aluminium and never gets much above warm.
I've experimented with lots of setups and found that for short cycle times in 2-3hr range then just PC rad and 1ltr of water works fine. On machines I build fit aluminium tank on the back with pump inside which holds aprox 3-4ltr water which is good for 99% of users needs.(Those in UK) If need more cooling then PC Rad & Fan can be fitted on outside but never needed to fit one yet.! (see pic)
With you being in Hot country then maybe worth running it thru small radiator with Fan on. Probably need something little larger than PC rad but small Scooter rad would work.
