Gentle persons: I know I should poll CNCZONE instead, but this is a much more friendly crowd and the rate of useful information exchange is much higher.
I recently got a Tower Hobbies catalog to look for an RC gift to my son and/or his son. I stumbled across the brushless motors section and thought I was in nirvana. The current discussion about the use of these motors as spindle drives has brought me sharply back to reality. I am a hobbyist who's still wallowing in the world of the Dremel/Proxxon class of rotary tools while I get comfortable with the CNC aspects of machining but I'm always on the lookout for suitable spindles and motors to plan on moving up to. Do reliable, low-cost solutions exist? I assume that Gene's response to Jon about a Rockwell/Precise spindle---"Something us hobby types would gravitate to because of the cost. :) "---was said in jest.
