These spindles are high speed only and should not be run at less than 8k minimum.

John, thanks for the reply. For clarity, the wow/flutter effect occurs at all speeds less than full - last night I tested the mill by facing a 50x50x80 length of ali at 10,000 rpm, and the sound was very evident - more so when the cutter touched the metal.
Doesn't occur at 24krpm, as an experiment I've ordered some USB/485 converters, will try driving the demanded spindle speed over digital link.

-the power supply /12VDC typically min 300ma/ for the spindle 0-10v, must be separate , do not just take that voltage from somewhere else
-change the trimmer on the output of the board, the one that regulates the 0-10v, or even upgrade it with proper potenciometer
-no need for additional caps if all is working fine. reset back VFD to what it was originally and first do what i suggest above
At the end of the day a crappy BOB does that, i have seen it. So change BOB, or add additional spindle speed controller board /30-40$/
Ahhh, and dont run the spindle at 24k rpm. Or you will shorten its life considerably. In fact never run it more than 18k rpm. And then first run it for a couple of hours at slow speed so grease and bearing sets.

Depending on how you're measuring things, the difference between the electrical frequency and the spindle speed (called slip) could come into play, especially at low speeds. But if the discrepancy is there at no load, it's not that.
Are you not getting mixed up with the air cooled version, which has the minimum speed requirement to ensure sufficient cooling?
If Doddy has a water cooled one, he can run it at lower speeds, just don't expect it be be particularly useful, due to the correspondingly low power.
I don't regularly run mine at 24k, but I have done a few things which have involved running it at 24k for a few hours and in one case ~20 hours. It's 5 years old now and still OK, so I wouldn't worry for occasional use. You can check the bearing spec...Last edited by Jonathan; 21-03-2016 at 07:46 PM.

I certainly intend running mine at 24k, its sold as a 24k spindle, my speeds and feeds calcs repeatedly ask for far higher rpm's sometimes up into the 40k's so 24k is pretty mediocre i think.
