A while back I purchased a number of high quality surplus spindles. Their condition varies, but they all have ABEC-7 or equivalent bearings and seem to be very well made.

I am planning to rework them into something I can use on a home-brew CNC mill, and possibly sell a few if I get good results. I've read several threads here about spindles, and it's clear that some of you really know bearings and spindles. So I'm looking for advice and opinions.

I've already put a lot of detailed information, photos, drawings, etc, on my website, so instead of retyping it all here, I'm just going to include a link: http://jmkasunich.com/cgi-bin/blosxom/spindle-project

I'd like to hear what you guys think. I will have many more specific questions as the project evolves....

Regards,

John Kasunich

FYI The spindle bearing numbers in your link look a lot like SNFA product.
