I'm getting a bit annoyed that can't use any old mill ends in my dewalt, I'm limited to the 1/4, 1/8 -in the UK these are not easy to get hold of.
I'm seriously considering a water cooled spindle... and if your going to do it, do it to the max... I can get a 2.2kw water cooled one, but I was wondering has anyone actually done it? I have heard it's a bit much for the axis, but is that actually true?
I like to mill ali, and slower is meant to be better. I would speculate you could do a 1mm DOC with something more powerful?
I can get a air cooled 3kw spindle and controller for around £250... sell the old dewalt for around £100... bit of wire and a small upgrade cost...
