Are there any prefered makes of spindle for a home CNC router, sothing that has good power and isn't flopping around all over the place.
I'm looking for something that will cut through 5mm G10/carbon fibre as well as doing some work in Al as an after thought.
Thanks
Stephen.

You can't go wrong with one of the Sherline Commercial spindles....also on ebay checkout Wolfgang engineering and if you can afford to wait...Paul Jones at http://www.cnconabudget.com has some nice spindles.

Okay, I just got a response from Paul Jones (CNCONABUDGET.com). He has been sick alot lately and is behind on filling the orders he currently has, so he is not accepting any additional orders at this time.
About a year ago he underwent Chemotherapy, he didn't elaborate on his present illness.
All the work that I've seen from Paul Jones has been quite amazing!
I'll let everyone here know when Paul Jones is caught up and accepting orders again!
