Help me choose my first spindle

[Karl]

Thanks - bracket ordered from ebay (There's many sources of 80mm bracket on ebay I now realise)

This is the in-forum set-up article I was originally looking for.

Just need the spindle to arrive now.

Now onto appropriate collet sets ...

Could someone recommend a cost-effective ER20 collect set appropriate for a Chinese spindle.

Had a look on the Internet but I'm confused about the vast range in prices and therefore don't know how to choose an appropriate set. In shorty, I don't know how to grade/judge ER collects.

Thanks.

I can't recommand any specific seller but eBay is full of ER20.

BTW, I bought my spindle from the same seller as you did. After about two years it is still working well. Just make sure you connect the earth because the spindle is not earthed. Mine is just a 1.5kW air cooled, but I am still happy with it.

You can also fit a pot on the front panel to control the speed http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/7388-...se-Spindle-VFD
