Re: Compact R-8 spindle on eBay

I too was eyeing the MT3 version of the spindle. Problem is at $35
and 5 days left on the auction - you might as well buy it new. I
went to little machines: http://www.littlemachineshop.com/default.php
and they have ALL the pieces, parts you could ever want, for the same
price. Plus if you know exactly what parts you need or want, they're
willing to do partial assemblies...
