Ill take some pics of the wheels this weekend.

Feedrates, about 2000mm/min at max before I see PID issues but I dont believe ive tuned the new motors properly. I need a laptop with a serial connector for the software and 2 attempts to use either a USB cable or PCI to Serial connector havent worked.

That said, 2000 is plenty for most operations. I need more spindle rpm / power now ideally as most of my stuff is Alu.

If you could post some pics of the mill too that would be great.

The 10000rpm spindle on the new Tormach 440 would be really nice on the Denford. I have emailed Tormach to see if it is possible to get one as I would like to fit to my Triac.
