Juan, so far no… I like the 10k rpm, more would be nice. The 1hp rating is what I dislike the most. I really cannot push a 1/4” end mill very hard due to the low hp. I plan to visit the higher rpm and hp later. I was Thinking of using an ac servo, but due to the 2.5k rpm I may not be able due to pulley space for3:1 in the housing. I may go with a VFD and modified spindle motor with a small flipped ratio. I would like to see up to 18k at 2-3hp. Stay tuned though I will be back on it. Life and day job has limited my free time
Cool videos all
Thanks for comment! Glad you liked them
Just finished watching youre series. I may have missed it but we’re you able to create the 3 to 1 ratio for the spindle for higher rpm?
