Luke11CNC Build Log ,I'm so naïve

[luke11cnc]

Well I've received my spindle today and

nobody warned me how heavy they are??

I may even put the spindle in between Y axis for support or is this over kill. I must admit I've never seen this done but how hard will it be

spindle weight is like trying to control a brick on the end of my little finger but that is just my own view

with all that weight at the end of a CNC machine no wonder there is issues with twist

They're heavy as there's lots of copper/steel in there. Be glad it's 3-phase as otherwise it would be heavier.

The best switches (I think) are these, but they're a bit more expensive than the rest:

You don't need the roller.
