    Re: BT/NT30 Spindle for 12Z Mill?

    I have found a source for BT30 spindles out of China. Prices are quite good (50USD), but the cost of shipping is prohibitive for a single unit. Anyone else interested?

    Not too sure about the pricing of their hardware, but given that a Mach 3 license from Artsoft is $159USD, the Syil Canada "discounted" price of $230CAD seems a little steep.

    It doesn't sound like incorporating the meters would yield much useful information. Probably best if I save the money on the ammeters as they would likely be damaged anyway. Thanks for the info.
