Best place to buy Spindle and VFD?

[Kitwn]

Charlie,

As the most trusted manufacturer for the cheap Chinese VFDs and spindles seems to be Huan Yang it made sense to me to go direct to them and avoid the risk of getting a counterfeit unit. They have a store on Aliexpress called Haun Yang Drive which is where I bought mine a few months ago. By buying the spindle and VFD as a set I saved some money and was confident of getting components that matched and while setting up the VFD it appeared to have most of the programming already set to the values recomended elswhere on this forum for that spindle. Delivery was prompt and I have had no problems so far. The spindle arrived with a 4-pin socket with one pin already connected to the case. You will have to buy suitable cable and wire up the supplied plug yourself. You will also need to buy whatever size ER20 collets you require other than the 6mm one provided.
The only thing I didn't like was the absence of any reply to my pre-purchase enquiry about what warranty they offered but I think you'd be lucky to find anyone giving good answers to such enquiries at these prices.

I'm in Australia. Whether there's a European supplier (you are still in Europe for the time being even with Bozo in No.10 ) that can save you signifficant import duty is for you to discover.
