CNC Spindle choice and supply options - 2.2 kw water cooled spindle and VFD

[dogboy]

What sort of work are you going to be doing with your machine? Wood? Metal? - that governed my choice, there are various varieties out there: 2 pole/4 pole, constant torque & constant power, differing max rpm etc.

Thanks for your replies.

Initially, I mainly intend to be milling wood, but I have plans to do some Aluminium work and also maybe slate or marble (if possible)
Although, for wood I do not need the such spindle but I also want to use 1/2" cutters so need ER20 collets or larger.
Plus longer term, may also add some sort of flood / spray cooling when cutting larger metal jobs in Alu. but may also go further if my machine can handle it! or even upgrade some bits later.

I have the bed / stage XYZ all working and homing correctly now and only now need a spindle.

Thanks
