Wondering if an of you guys have seen the HSD spindle in the flesh?
Wondering about performance on the 2.25HP in particular.
Thanks

I've never heard anything bad about HSD. Have you posted this question on the Shopbot forum? I recall reading someone's experience with that size and thinking that would be fine for guitars. The only question is can it accept a 1/2" shank bit.

Good idea on the Shopbot forum
I believe the 2.25 HP (1.5KW) version has a ER25 collet nose which should handle a 1/2" shank.

Heres another spindle company too. I spoke with once about a spindle and if I remember right they're prices were pretty good.
www.ekstromcarlson.com/spindle%20motors.htm

I'd be pretty confident that a 2-1/4 hp would way more than enough power assuming a continuous rating. I bet they have a power curve available for as it's a real spindle.

You can even squeeze an extra bit of love out of it as I'm pretty sure ER25 goes all the way to 5/8".
