What is the highest speed your spindle can rotate at?

Man this thread is getting confusing! LOL!

I don't know how fast it can go. I will have a look at see what it actually tops out at.

It's a Schneider altivar 12 VFC with a water cooled 2kw spindle.

I just tried 20k rpm. VFD says 326hz and spindle was going at 19600rpm.


This is what the bed looks like and what the finish was initially and after the tool degraded.
