Hi splinter very good questions, The motor for this spindle is 1kw, I have not seen the motor, as I built this spindle for a friend
he does have a variable speed drive for the motor
I plan to build more similar spindles some with ATC, the smaller one’s may not have ATC built in
My next build will have a built in motor as well, that I’m working on for the next stage, they will be run by a VFD for speed
control, once I have the motor spindle set up & working well together, then I will do the ATC to go with the complete package
Some very basic cad files will be put up, but right now I’m very busy, so may take some time to get the cad files up
Thanks for you comments
