CNC Router V1.0 (For Cutting Multiple Materials)

Thanks for all the comments, I'll post more info/video soon.

On a different subject, does anyone use a face mill with their 2.2kw chinese spindle or am I best using an end mill?

i tried a 12mm single bit indexed tool on mine and it worked but i don't think any bigger will go, just not enough torque/power at lower speeds and you don't want a big mill whipping round at 24k ;)

Endmill - the face mill wont be balanced well enough for the speed that spindle does and as has been pointed out, 1Nm is not enough torque to cut much with it anyway.

So I finally got round to making a BOB. Hoping this will kick start me back onto doing more CNC stuff!!
