Hi everyone,
I have just ordered a sable 2015 and am on the lookout for a spindle solution.
I will be using it to mill PCB's and possibly the off bit of acyrilic if the machine is up to it.
Ideally i would like to have a go at building a spindle but i dont have access to a lathe so cant make any parts which is unfortunate.
Ultimatly i think i have 4 options and would appreciate your opinions on which you guys think is most appropriate, i ahev listed them below:
- CNC on a budget spindle I would need to import this from the US but some people on CNC zone say its a good spindle.
- 400w Chinese spindle I am unsure about the quality of these and not sure what the runout will be like
- SPD-ER11 Seems like it good be a good bet, plenty of videos on youtube with the sable using this spindle. Has anyone on here used one?
- Last option is a 0.8KW water cooled spindle, one like this I understand this is similar to the very popular 2.2kw spindle that a lot of people use on here for larger machines and i could possible use the VFD again when I inevitably want to build a larger machine!--------Not suitable - Too heavy
There may well be some other spindles that i havent considered that would be more appropriate and would appreciate any advice!
Thanks in advanceLast edited by robump; 30-09-2013 at 07:29 PM.
