Diy Brushless Spindle

[njhussey]

Dissassembled the motor, worryingly there was no locktite on the grub screw holding the body onto the shaft....needless to say there will be when it goes on the collet :naughty:

Am ashamed to say that for the first housing I'm cheating and getting someone else to machine the housing as they have offered to do it for nothing (our local machinist we use at work) in between jobs they are currently doing...which is very nice of them. I'll use the other bits I've started to do a smaller high speed spindle for engraving

At some stage I'll re-wind it as the winding is poor and also the potting/epoxying of the magnets wasn't too clever either as some was proud and was rubbing on the armature. Still you get what you pay for so I shouldn't be too surprised I guess...
