    I have had a look at various bearings for making a high speed spindle and they cost a small fortune. I can get a set of 15000rpm bearings for £40 for 4 so I might go that way and give it a try.

    Lee,
    no I never did get one built. As per usual ended up working on something else and the idea got scrapped. At the moment I can t get enough time to finish my rebuild, but I have started thinking about a diy VMC build.
    For some good news though I am off to Germany on Tuesday for the factory acceptance tests for the companies new £1M Laser. I cant wait to see it running.
