Denford Starmill - replacing spindle

[andy_con]

trouble with starmill and novamill is the way the spindle motor is integrated into the head.

unless you get a replacement motor of exactly the same size you will lose z travel.

although a small machine and small motor, it will blow these cheap Chinese ally framed mills out the water, so don't put it down. can you provide some photos of exactly which model of starmill you have and any photos of motor and head if you have taken things to bits?

are you aware on certain models you can raise the head on a starmill and novamill?
