Since the CNC conversion I rarely run the mill at under 3k and for extended periods of time. The lower bearing would get so hot I could not keep my hand on it. I had previously added a downstop bracket to the spindle and decided to turn it into a combination coolant manifold and spindle lower bearing cooler. The results are working perfectly.

Let me know what you think,
