Mini Mill X2 Spindle Head + VFD + Chinese Spindle= custom!
LittleMachineShop.com - Mini Mill Spindle Box Assembly R8
What size of bearings does this use?? What is the highest speed you could run this spindle without extra balancing? assuming the bearing RPM was not the limiting factor because you swapped them out for angular contact bearings?
10,000 rpm? Less? More?
If i knew the size of the bearings i could search for some bearings!
Thank you.

Reviving an old thread, but whatever happened to that idea? I was thinking something similar, but instead of using the X2 head, i'd go for the R8 spindle and build a housing for it, with quality angular bearings. Great opportunity for TTS tooling, ATC and torque multiplication. Seems too good to be true, I must be missing out something really obviously wrong.
