Re: Looking for spindles

Hey, I have the same need! I have several precision linear tables
with ballscrews that I wanted to use to make an ultra precise desktop
cnc mill (just for kicks). I have every single thing except for a
suitable spindle. I was considering using the sherline spindle, but
I too would like something a little beefier and perhaps a little
larger.
