The thing is I want a new spindle for PCBs.....my main requirement is actually low noise (I've cordoned off a downstairs room in our house & deemed it "man cave")...I've neighbours to consider & of course my wife will surely get more than a little p1ssed with the sound of a CNC spindle constantly whirring if its too loud....since I'm only milling FR4 & the odd bit of acrylic, a water cooled spindle seems excessive (& just adds a lot of weight to the Z axis)
the zen toolworks spindle is stupidly quiet.
(& in this video it actually sounds a bit louder than it typically does in other videos I've seen with the zen spindle)
Edit: ok, found it - Here's the video that first caught my attention about how ludicruously quiet the Zen spindle is...
(you have to do a double take to actually suss the spindle is on!)Last edited by Lee Roberts; 16-06-2013 at 12:18 PM. Reason: added vids
