Hello all -
So I was initially thinking of using my Dewalt 1/4" router for my spindle -
But thinking of other options, what would you recommend?
Do i need to go water cooled or air cooled? Was also thinking about the noise element as well.
I don't want to purchase the spindle mount until i know which motor I am going to use
Thanks in advance

Generic option is a 2.2kw water cooled spindle, which eBay usually has abundant sources.
Bit fancier is some of the spindles Jazz is selling, but they will be more expensive.
Water-cooled is the quietest option, but if you've already got a decent router, you can always use that to begin with.Avoiding the rubbish customer service from AluminiumWarehouse since July '13.

OK, never used a water cooled unit? So presume that they come with the pump unit part?
I have also noted that some need an inverter as well? Why do they need inverters?
This seems to be pushing up the cost considerably.
Do i really need this for just routing out a few wooden signs?
Thanks

Main reason for using water cooled Spindle is the noise or lack thereof, you need an inverter as they they are three phase, you need to provide a small tank and a pump. you will be fine with an ordinary router but again it's the noise, this would get very old if you are doing a long run on the machine, you need also to be looking at a dust shoe to fit whatever device you wish to use.
Good luck
Regards
Mike
