New spindle needing new mounts

[GEOFFREY]

A router will not be as good as a spindle - much noisier, less accurate and more prone to wear. Far better to get another spindle with a greater capacity. If you machine is quite small, don,t be too put off by the 1/8th collet. I have a spindle and have been using 1/8" down to 0.5mm cutters for years, and I always say "I can make anything" (except money). G.

Exactly, my bed is only 600 x 1000 mm but I'm using a 2.2kw Elte spindle with a ER25 collet, I plan to use cutters from 1mm to 12mm mostly
