Fingers crossed it'll cut ally

[blackburn mark]

could use a really high feedrate with the cutter going at 60krpm

look on ebay for ceramic dental drill bearings(china), if i remember correctly about £25 for 5... iv not commited to those yet, my high speed spindle is way down my list at the mo but im looking forward to having a crack at making it work

Can't you get the existing spindle to drill nice grid of holes in the bed plate when it's all set up? That's what I'm intending to do.

im considering it........ im sh*t scared ill press go and end up with a road runner carved into my nice plate lol

ill need to stick a biro in my spindle and work on my confidence :)
