    spindle selection

    Have a guy that wants me to build gantry and electronics of MechMate machine driven by Mach3. Only problem is he wants a 5HP spindle and I don't know anything about different brands. I am looking for sugestions. Cost is probably not a issue.

    Here's one option. http://www.ekstromcarlson.com/spindle%20motors.htm

    Other common spindles are made by Perske, Columbo, and HSD.

    They start at about $1500-$2000 and go up fast as size increases.
