I want to use my Max NC for pcb drilling, I understand that
speed and lack of play are prerequisites for long life of the
drill. With that in mind, I don't think I would start with a used
spindle when new ones are in the $20 range. I have had
excellent results from the 4 inch angel head grinders. I
am gathering parts for a CNC router and plan on using
the harbor Freight trimming router for the spindle.

Fair enoughm but my needs are drilling only and if the side load is a
problem, it may be that they can be end loaded.

PCB drilling is what I'm after.
