Where are you buying spindles from - new build

Thank you Phill. I will get in touch with them and see if the damage is palatable.

So...I got in touch with Mechatron, they have a large selection of quality spindles. The one I was interested in, with ATC function + SK40, was quoted 7400 Euro ex VAT!
This didn't include an encoder either, which would have had to be a custom product.

So it is back to the drawing board, any other suggestions?
Maybe I need to start entertaining the idea of Asia sourced spindles, anyone have a tried and trusted supplier?

Thanks

OK some searching around, found some potential Asia suppliers. Thought I'd run it by you experienced ones....

Hi, I'm only beginner so sorry can't help much but just would like to ask about your build, are you aiming to build a vertical milling machine type or just a standard gantry build? it seems the specs of your machine are high which would be interesting to see first time here and I hope you are able to make it successfully, but also it is very expensive!

good luck
