Jason, you are going to love the spindle. I tried the Makita for about 6 months and realized that it was not a long term solution. The noise level and heat buildup on the bit and collet were just too much. I got the PWN cnc 220v air cooled unit and just love it. I did not want the liquid cooled and I am glad I made that decision. The main difference between the two that I discovered is the liquid cooled unit does not force air down on the project and blow dust and chips around. I have great dust collection (PWN cnc dust boot) and it does great and anyway, I am not filming. In your situation the liquid cooled is the way to go.
Thanks Jim. I agree because after 2 projects I am already in love with the spindle. Not having to shut it off after every project is a dream. It is also super quite and will make it much easier for me to film in there. I plan on doing a lot of videos in the shop moving forward.
