Hi everyone, I'm new in the forum and planning to purchase a 4x8 table kit for assembling this summer. I am not sure which is the best spindle+VDF for cutting mostly 18mm Plywood for very long jobs (8 hours a day, 5 days a week) and below €1000 ($1300). Fan cooled or liquid cooled? Which power would you suggest for that kind of job 1kw or 2.2kw?

Many thanks all for your help!!

The bigger the better, preferably 4kw or larger.
Fan cooling is much easier than water cooling, but louder. However, you won't ere the fan when cutting plywood.

Many thanks Gerry, any brands that I should check that would fit my budget of $1300?

[ger21]

Chinese (through Ebay) is your only option at that price. Even a much smaller name brand spindle will exceed your budget.

Thanks again Gerry, in your opinion and considering the kind of work that I would do, should I try to go for a more expensive (a better quality) spindle? In that case, which medium quality brands ones would you recommend? Many thanks!

The least expensive "quality" brand spindles will cost 3-5 times the price of a chinese spindle. You're probably better off buying two chinese spindles and keeping one for a spare.

Thanks, will do that!
