my CNC is nearly complete now:

I have all three axis running, and the spindle is almost operational. It requires water cooling, and that's not 100% working yet.
the spindle is a 24000rpm 2.2Kw fully enclosed three phase motor.





I am so far very pleased with the results. It runs smoothly at decent speeds (enough to get your heart rate going, if the spindle was running !) without any major tweaks. It will still need about 3 months of adjusting and sorting things out, like the cutting bed, the cable carriers, and fixing various bits to be frame.
but i am hoping to cut my first chips in february.
