I am looking for the best place to buy a 3-4 hp spindle such as and HSD, Colombo, etc. I have been in contact with the companies, but to get a really good price you have to take 50 units.......  Anyone know of a place that sells a 4hp 18,000 rpm for less than $1060? That is the best quote I have had so far. Mike |

That doesn't sound like a bad price. I'd say it's more important to be pricing put a whole package designed to be as plug and play as possible. |

As Sheldon said regarding the price. Does that include the controller? |

Hi guys, No, that is just the spindle price, but one of my customers called me today with the name of a company that has slightly larger motors, 7hp, for $600. New old stock, but hey, if it works, that is even better. I have the controller and all the extra items needed to make it all work found for a little over $600. I am going to either be retrofitting my current machine, or building a new one with the CNCBrain that has dual loop encoder feedback with position correction. I already have the Brain, but was waiting to make the change. Now that my router motor melted down on me, I might as well make the whole change at once! Mike ps I'll keep you posted with prices, links etc if you want. |

Hi Bob, Well as most "too good to be true things"  ! One was new Colombo spindles and new spindle prices.....and the other one actually dealt in new, used, and rebuilt spindles. They also had some decent prices, but everything is 434-460 volts, which makes for another link in the chain to get it all to work, at least for me.I am single phase 230v and as old as I am don't want to start over!
