    Yes your absolutely correct re the spindle Andy, do you plan to upgrade it? If so I can recommend Fred over at BST Automation for a decent 2.2kw water cooled spindle etc. Nice mod's to the spindle by the way :)

    Yea until/if then quite conservative feeds and speeds will be required with that spindle, you've built a decent machine that is capable of allot more with a better spindle...we all start somewhere though right...will go watch the video now...
