    This is an interesting site and project by Norm Zurawski:
    http://www.lockeyone.com/shoptask/millhead/index.htm

    Norm wishes that the Shoptask mill RPM would be higher to make cleaner cuts. He's currently thinking of how to run a high speed drive through the spindle. I've seen routers fitted along side the spindle, although then the working envelope is compromised.

    I'm not sure who's the owner... I discovered these pictures in the older posts of the Shoptask forums...I do believe I saved them for later viewing as the machine is fitted with variable DC drive motors.
    I e-mailed the poster from the forum but never got a reply. Very little info in the profile.
