Will you share with me where you got your spindle and VFD from, that is a good price maybe I was looking in the wrong place but I was seeing £300 for the 2.2's...

No problem Lee Fleebay had a 20% off everything offer for a few hours on 6th or 7th of April so I grabbed the VFD and spindle then, full price is £182 ans I got £36 discounted. Still has original offer ships from Germany about 5 days.

I have set up cooling in a 25ltr can of distilled\deionised water removed 10 ltr and added 5ltr of Mono Propylene Glycol to prevent any algae etc, Trying a new idea with pump though a minature 8.5w with 10ft lift seems to be ideal and totally silent.

Great thing is fits into can easily so drill three holes in cap 2x9mm for hose and 1x3mm for cable drop pump in and screw on cap sealed unit, return pipe above water and only noise is the trickle of water from the set up if you listen carefully.

Will post some video as soon as last motor sorted while tuning Y and slaved A tweaking it up, at 5m pm with 2000 accel the whole thing began to walk/run accross the room quite a weight on gantry, so I am going to have to machine either keys or flats or get some decent resin to lock timing pulleys securely, I've tapped 2 x 4mm grub screws into each pulley but would not trust them to hold at the speeds it was moving especially on round end of Ballscrew. I can't see torque or speed being a problem apart from trying to tear my hard work to pieces if I push it to hard.

Another bargain I found may be of interest was the spindle mount under £20 delivered from HongKong and it arrived in 6 days was thinking about machining a large bearing mount but at that price not worth while.
