From the video I thought it was a standard router?

Yes that's a Kress in the video.

For aluminium with the small cutters Michael is using the speed will be >12000rpm (assuming carbide) anyway, so fine without PID control. Still I'd be looking at getting a 'proper' spindle.

But Micheal and very few of us have got £5,000 for a proper spindle so we all make do with the poor mans version.!! . . .Just some of us are proper proper skint so use poor mans, poor mans version. .

Yeah that's why I said 'proper' not proper, i.e. made in china. I couldn't really afford my 2.2kW spindle, it cost more than my milling machine! However I'm glad people on the forum persuaded me at the time that for what I wanted to do a Kress would have been a waste.

Oh I see.!! Proper got that wrong then. . Lol

I didn't need telling about the kress or router being not upto the job when I killed a very expensive HD Elu router and I mean the real original high quality Elu not the rubbish they sold later on, when I hand cut the my gantry sides and Zaxis.!!

Was expecting to see you at the show today.? . . . It where rubbish anyway so you didn't miss much.!!

I kindly offered a lift but unfortunately they couldn't go. My Mum couldn't take me and the train would cost something silly so I didn't go. Shame as I was looking forward to it and meeting people...

Should have give me a shout I would have give you a lift or got you a lift, thou it was pritty poor with lots of stalls not there this year and few big gaps.

Arc trading were just showing machines and didn't have a stall selling, infact they and one other seller where the only ones with CNC machines and they are the stupidly over priced and under built chinese stuff.!
Andy from Cambam wasn't there either which was looking forward to meeting again. Gary from Zapp wasn't there.!! The Old Git was there taking the piss like only John S does, star John he always make me laugh!! . . . Bet he's a reet scream when he's had a few Jars.
The rest where usual cheap crap that you can buy anywhere for same money or less.
