Re: High Speed Spindle

A photo of my poor excuse for a high speed spindle is in the files
section. It consists of a collet holder (missing the retaining nut
anyway) threaded into a piece of .25" aluminum plate with a laminate
router bolted on. There is a limit switch behind the router which,
when the gadget is mounted, cuts the coil circuit to the Bridgeport's
main spindle. (I didn't want to be around if the laminate router
started spinning at 4000 RPM) <G>. Since this is mainly for
engraving plastic laminate, I wasn't too concerned with the plate
flexing.
