I'm looking at getting one of those 2.2kW air or water cooled spindles + VFD kits out there for a router. I'm not worried about the noise difference between the two types.
Has anyone taken apart a water cooled spindle? How are they doing the cooling? Is it a water jacket or just some copper tubing inside? How likely is it to leak in a few months time? I can only find one video describing leaks and water related shorts etc. (so they must be good?) I actually prefer the idea of using air-cooled and making ducting to take the exhaust away from the spindle nose. Make a closed loop fan-assisted air duct. The irony is that I want to use flood cooling on the work. (composite material) So it won't be a dry environment.
