i has first my DIY cnc 800W ER16 spindle, can working but not good no power lot, max can milling plywood about 1mm pass only, but i updated now my cnc new 2,2KW spindle and have lot lot better use, no anymore problems whit torqye and power newer again, best option upgrade all cnc better new spindle, and not have expensive update, old 800W air cooled spindle cost about 100$ new 2,2KW cost me 130$ dont waste money 1,5KW spindle because same money can buy biggest better 2,2KW spindle, and VFD not have expensive cost me 2,2KW VFD normal about 60-80$ not lot need spend money. but all work have then lot lot better doing.
i used lot 21mm plywood birch, and old spindle i cut max 2mm pass, but new need only 4 pass 5mm can cut piece out off plywood. max can cut 9mm pass but hard to stepper motors, better use only 5mm not hard to machine. i has build my cnc all parts whit plywood 21mm and have strong can cut aluminium good, but need buy aluminium next then can build better machine, all cnc has cost me less than 1000$ and have better than any onefinity or genmitsu cnc who cost 4000-6000$ waste only lot money buy onefinity etch cnc. because DIY can build lot better strongest biggest cnc own hand in garage. linuxcnc and biggest motors.
Thanks for your comment you obviously have the skills to build your own and yes sometimes it pays off and costs much less. I always think of different ways and work arounds to machine items, you must have the same thoughts as me. Keep up the good work
normal woodworker router have worst option buy to cnc machine, noise too lot, bearings not has plan use whit cnc, not long time can use go broken. and lot expensive than good REAL spindle, minimum 800W best is 2,2KW, have cheap buy today. about 130-200$ only.
I have tried the 500 watt spindle as you can see in my videos but its a better and cheaper option than the standed spindle which is useless. This is better but has its limitations. I have a 1.5kw water cooled on my large pro cnc and yes its fantastic
next level you can build on to table, lather and use cnc at lathe too, simple build.
Thanks for your comment You should be able to
Great idea

I always say go for something that will give you more than you want rather than trying to push a motor beyond its limits
