What Spindle / Auto Tool Changer?

[JAZZCNC]

Perhaps the answer is either stay with Kress and get the ATC or go for the Chinese spindles and try and make an ATC ..... surely someone has done an ATC for the Chinese Spindles?

Yes they have but the cost more than the real thing.!! This company originally used the WC spindle but looks like they have updated and gone custom. Still expensive thou at $3600 and I suspect it's lower speed range will still be around 4-5K rpm with usable torque.?

Any idea on what something like this would cost:-

Apart from fcking expensive ...

Fooooooking expensive will be £5K minimum I reckon.

If your serious then I'd look on Alibaba for spindle company's in China and send an email requesting quote, Reckon you'll get something proper with full ATC with ER20-25 size collets for around the £2K.? Again minimum speeds will be high has they tend to be router spindles not milling.
