Turning Question
I am helping someone do a CNC retrofit to a Lathmaster 9x30.
We are looking at putting either an AC or DC servo as a spindle motor.
The machining question we have. Is there a real advantage to upping the Max. spindle speed on this from 2000rpm to 3k or 4k.?
Is there a real benefit as to finish or tooling for the extra SFM at these speeds?
I don't really see a problem of the spindle bearing being affected, if they are we put in higher rated ones.
