But I got tired of trying to communicate with him, no customization would be discussed so I looked around and found another machine with a few mm smaller x, a lot more z, still the 1500 watt water cooled spindle with an ER-11 collet. Design to be run by mach3 (hock,spit). 4 axis also. The only thing I could not find with any search terms was a 1/2 to 1 gallon water tank to bury the water pump in. I might be able to use the plastic tub dishwasher packets come in but its only a quart, might warm up too fast in the summertime. Anyway the card's been supplied, should be here by the 3rd as its in kalipornia now. I'd assume a 15 piece set of ER-11 collets from a different vendor will be about that slow, quality unk as they were under a tenner for the set. Submitted about 1/2 hour ago, but no confirming msg yet. Around $1130 for this one including the collets. Looks like a better chuck on the A axis too. 57 motors, 6560 drivers. Are they any good?
