Oh well I had already ordered an air cooler 1.5kw so will just have to stick with it for now.

An ER16 collet will be ok as I only really use 1/4 inch bits at the moment and can use an extender collet should I need to use a 1/2 inch.

The other concern I had was power my Garage has a 20 amp feed so 8 amps for the PSU + 8 amps for a 2.2kw Spindle and then the dust collector/vacuum at I think 2 amps puts me up there a bit. All peak rates I know but none the less...

Was hoping a 1.5kw Air would be quieter than my current router but not sure now.
