I'm going to be obtaining a Mini Mill within the next couple months (6"x4"x4"), and I need to find a spindle for it. I know most people use routers, but I have 2 issues with this approach:
1) Size: I think a router would be a bit large for this machine.
2) Noise: Routers are extremely loud from my experience, and I'd like to keep the noise down if I could.
So I'm not sure what this leaves me with. I've looked at some Drywall Routers, which are quite a bit smaller. The one I'm looking at is adjustable between 15k and 30k RPM. Would this be too fast? I plan on routing PCBs mostly, but will do some Plastic and Aluminum as well.
I'm open to any suggestions, but please try to keep the cost down. I'd be okay with fabricating something myself if anybody has any ideas.
Thanks,
- Jesse
