Chinese Spindles

[Jonathan]

Thats what I meant with using the Tormach cartridge but this would be perfect, just add air cyclinder and your ready to go. Good shout i2i. .

Now who can I tapup for $900.??? .

Er, don't see what all the fuss is about - it's only rated for 6000rpm. Unless some of the others in that table are also ATC spindles...
It looks like BT30 taper tooling is capable of much more than 6000rpm, so it makes you wonder why that spindle can't do it - is it just not balanced very well, or cheap bearings? That would explain the price.

Can anybody read chinese.?

I know some people who can - I can ask them on Monday if you like.

Try making a real ATC with ground and hardend spindle for less than £650 I can't imagine it would be much cheaper and certainly no bettter.

But I do agree the 6K is a bit on the low side for some jobs 10K minimum would be nicer, 30K Woopie dooo.

Thanks for offering about asking for translation, yes please.

Jazz i agree but i would rather sacrifice the speed and keep the ATC, 10k would be the max i would need anyhow, the things i do are done on a machine running less than 6k and im resigned to it, so when i started the gantry design the speed wasnt really a question more the ATC of course if you can find similar to i2i at a faster speed for £800 or so then i would not object.. LOL

Ye if I could they would need to have 2 available or you wouldn't hear about it untill it was fitted. .Lol
