I've just ordered one o these,I think they will do for engraving on wood and plastics? I mean look at that price and they're 950w 11 to 18volts.

Looks good, let us know how you get on with using it.

It isn't a bad way to go but you can't use them directly. Here is a thread with a lot of links on the subject: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/taig_m...ss_motors.html

There is a current thread on MadModder: Brushless DC Motor Spindle by c raynerd

Here is a link to the MyCncUk thread he mentions: Diy brushless spindle

And another for good measure: BUILD LOG: Using RC Brushless motors as spindle

good luck and post results!
