Hi there!
It's my first post here. I d really appreciate your feedback guys. I recently got a bf20L and in the next months I will be converting it to cnc. (Direct drive with 4.5Nm hybrid steppers, optimum ballscrew set). I am planning to buy a 4.5KW Elte spindle (TMPE5 10/2 24000rpm). I have attached its relevant graphs. Furthermore, the motor can be seen in the pdf catalogue from the link below:

I mostly be doing aluminium and I will buy the spindle with er32 nose type. The mt2/3 nose type uses a collet to secure the taper and if I was going to order it I would end up with significant increase in tool length due to the er32/25 adapter used to hold endmills. This would cause extra loading to the spindle bearings, and I would have reduced z travel. So I am planning to go ahead with the er32 nose type. The problem is that I cannot easily find flycutters, facemills, boring adapters that have cylindrical shanks to be fixed in the er32 nose. I can very easily find them in mt2/mt3 or r8.
Does anybody knows any european shops with cylindrical shanked tools?

George
