Hi Craig,
That's great, thanks.
I think I will go for the Mechatron with with the Hitachi S1 VFD and a few other extras, 5uM Collet set and brake resistor etc.
I started looking at input line reactors but where do you top with all this? May have to put in a dedicated supply for the VFD but will see how I get on.
Can't really afford the chiller as well from Mechatron, so may have to find a cheap alternative for the cooling until I can find a suitable chiller unit or save up a bit to buy the Mechatron offering in the coming months if it proves successful!
I did look on the likes of Amazon and eBay for a chiller but as always its full with imports of unknown brands / quality etc. (Maybe a cheapo pump and bucket of coolant
Hopefully I will order the 2.2KW Water cooled Mechatron / VFD next week. I think it will suit me for mainly wood and some light Alu work./ Plastic.
Thanks, all the replies have been very helpful and educational....
