Chinese CNC machine...whatchathink?

[HankMcSpank]

Now having never dealt with water cooled spindles, inverters etc, I'm a little confused by the seller's response to me asking him to quote me for one! (the ad is here... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123 )

Me: "Could you please let me know if this machine can be supplied not only with the 300W spindle (as per your advert) but also a VFD & water cooled spndle + spindle mounting bracket too? If so, how much extra would that be (including shipping) to the UK?"

Sellers reply: "Dear friendthis machine come with water cooled spndle + spindle mounting bracket too but it does not have inverter for you.and This item is ready for using there is no need the inverter
best regards,

This wil be the bit where I get confused - a water cooled spindle but with no inverter that's ready for use?!!

Me: "I am confused at your response....

"this machine come with water cooled spndle + spindle mounting bracket too but it does not have inverter for you"

....but your listed spindle specification doesn't mention 'water cooled' spindle, here's the extract from your advert.....

"Spindle motor 300w dc motor 1000~9500PRM/Min"

So once again, does this listing include a water cooled spindle with mount or not?

All of the water cooled spindles I've seen listed for CNC machines, typically look like this one you have listed....

(also I though all the water cooled spindles *needed an inverter?)

I am familiar that most sellers of the CNC 3040t supply a 300W air cooled spindle...this is why I am confused?

Please clarify asap....many thanks.


Seller: "this listing include a water cooled spindle with mount"




So, can anyone here clarify what the gig is likely to be here - a water cooled spindle will work without an inverter?
