Aiden,

The primary spindle on my machine is detailed a little more in another thread I started - http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/showth...machine-DC-1HP

But basically it was a spindle cartridge which I found in a box of bits and pieces which came with a lathe that I bought and was bundled up with some linear slides, looks like someone was thinking about making either a lathe or mill but never got further than collecting the parts together. I took the spindle cartridge and re-manufactured it into a usable ER16 collet version then bolted a 1HP DC motor to my machine and connected them together with a belt drive. Have a look at the attached thread and it 'may' make more sense...

So your question as to what make is the spindle head is..... mine! (sort of)

But, to make a similar spindle cartridge should be quite easy as after re-machining the one that I found I realized that there is not a lot to them, just get the right good quality bearings and the rest can be made on a lathe in a couple or 3 hours.

If you want more info then I will be happy to help and point you in the right direction.
