Hi Clive, and thanks for the welcome.

I know I have jumped the gun a bit ordering the parts but I sort of got carried away on ebay lol

I know the spindle will be a bit noisier but looking at the reviews on youtube its something I can live with and according to the reviewers there not that bad, I just didn't want to mix water into the equation and another plug socket and remembering to turn the water pump on and off.

My basic question is whether the stuff I have ordered will do what I think its going to be able to do i.e. cut/carve wood and soft metals and whether or not they will work well with the machine, its a new hobby I became fascinated with it when I saw people doing it on youtube, some of the stuff that can be created looks amazing.

Thanks for any response's, feedback, points of wisdom and general chit chat about it anyone can give, it is all appreciated as I am a total noob and I know it.

Paul
