Hello everyone,
I have a line on a brand new Colibris spindle, but I can't use it anymore for my CNC project. This is a top of the line spindle, apparently one of the world's finest spindle manufacturers.
the specs are located here:

The particular one I could purchase goes up to 60000RPM, 0.2uM axial and radial runout, 1.2KW, 0.5-5mm collet. I can get this for 1000$US, which is probably too good of an offer to pass up. If I wanted to buy and sell it to fund another project of mine, I would want about 500$ for my trouble. Does anyone need something like this? Or do you think I would have problems selling it? Or, should I not bother buying it?
Apparently, a similar spindle, just with about 50% more power and a different tooling interface is worth 24000$. I don't really know what it is worth.
It's a shame that my current CNC project didn't work out, due to financial reasons. This spindle is far too good to put on my Taig, it's like putting a ferrari engine in a chevette
