- and this is the second one http://www.amazon.com/Machinerys-Han...196858-8768901.

Was wondering if any one had any suggestion on other good books to use cnc mills and cnc lathes for some one who has 0 experience. So i can kick start using them and understand what each type of tool is for and what kind of result i can expect out of them...

For the spindle i was wondering if any one had experience with this type of spindle http://cgi.ebay.com/a-water-cooled-s...742.m153.l1262 ? i dont need some thing as powerfull, a 1k should be enough. But what can i expect out of it in terms performance, noise and tollerance for precision.
