Liked your video. It was honest and straightforward. Your advise to just get the 1.5kw spindle was spot on. I have one in an X-Carve. To me the spindle is dangerously quiet when you have the vacuum running. Several times I mentally blocked out the quiet drone of the spindle and not noticed it was running. I mounted the spindle controller at eye level so that I can now see the speed display. Also the bearings on these are way, way better and rigidly secured than the bearings on a router. You didn’t mention that. Of course this would be more important if doing plastics or aluminum parts.

A word of advice on loosening socket head cap screws, use short hex bits with a ratchet rather than allen wrenches. Also, on the VFD you can change the ramp up speed so it doesn't take long, if it bothers you, but it's best if you leave a good ramp to protect your electronics and equipment.

You asked why one needs a spindle.

having a VFD are you not able to hook it up to the controller and use G code to control the spindle speed strait from the controller? Surely that would be one of the benefits of a spindle over a router allowing you to have finer granular control over your feeds and speeds to achieve better and potentially faster results. maybe not all VFD's are made equal and im not expert either but maybe look into it.

Great video, well done. Just an FYI - the "TWOMOOSE" code for the PwnCNC spindle is either not working properly or a scam. The spindle configured for my Onefinity is $950 with a free $30 cable before the code and $931 after the code (it should be $900 after the code). The way that happens is after entering the code the "free" $30 cable becomes an actual $30, less 5%. So it should be $900 total with 5% off, but instead it is $931 because they now charge you for the cable. So if it is an error, maybe they should be made aware so they can fix the bug. But if it is a bit of "slight of hand"... well... 'nough said about that.

Definitely not a scam. I’m not sure what they have going on with their promos currently. I don’t make or sell the spindles I just offer a discount code they provided me. I will reach out but I have no control over any of their items or how they charge for things. Most companies typically only offer one “deal” at a time so if they have some other promo it probably cancels out the other.

If your endmill is squealing , you're going too slow ....Either slow down the spindle or increase feed rate ...Bits will wear out alot faster if your speeds and feeds aren't correct....You should be making chips not dust ....

Correct. When cutting the actual cutting edge should only bite into the workpiece at first contact. After that the feed should be fast enough for the rake face to shear away the chips, and the cutting edge just lightly cleans up the torn surface on the workpiece. The tool wear should mostly take place behind the cutting edge, creating a crater on the rake face. (Most noticeable on lathe tools.) If the feed per tooth is too low the tool edge is in constant contact then it wears and starts to rub, squeal and generate heat and dust. So, if squealing slow down the spindle but leave the feed rate the same (increasing feed per tooth), or increase the feed leaving the spindle speed the same (if the tool, machine, workpiece and clamp method can handle the extra load.)

Back in the early days, on cam operated automatic lathes (no CNC machines then) we didn't have carbide tool inserts either, just lengths of HSS or stellite ground by hand. When a worn tool was caught in time, the cutting edge was still quite good. It was the cratering behind the cutting edge, caused by the friction of the chips that would eventually cause dramatic failure as it crept closer and met the cutting edge.

Once you get a spindle next step is an ATC. That option you don't have with a router.

If you do any type of serious work with your CNC, the trim router will be the limiting factor, I do really high feeds and depth of cut with my CNC and l that really changed is the 1.5kw water-cooled spindle. Having a larger bits also make a lot of difference. Maybe with time you'll see how much of an upgrade it is, higher torque, longer life, low noise and less run out.

I will absolutely disagree with the spindle upgrade not being necessary and only a luxury. Context is also important. If you're a hobbyist and only use it every once in a while then a router will be just fine. However if you plan on running a business, you'll want to ditch the router fast. Air cooled routers are not designed to run for hours on end. I've burned up a few already. As your CNC experience improves, longer and longer cut times will be needed for larger files. The liquid cooled spindle can run them without breaking a sweat.

A router is a spindle for routing though... so yeah you need one, unless you throw a laser or a drag knife in it or something

Unlikely to find a 1.5kw with a ER20 on it. Ideally you want your vfd and power supplies for steppers on 220v, higher volts = lower amps = less em noise, less drop on high demand, less heat, balanced load, etc.

Yes you need a spindle, In CNC the cutting motor is called the spindle. It can be a simple dc motor, router or a dedicated spindle, doesn't matter. A Router is nothing more than a spindle with a base and handles, of which you remove (stripping it down to the Spindle)to use on a CNC.

@@krislinder7460 okay 👍🏼 I have no interest in arguing with you. Based on research in 𝙲𝙽𝙲 groups that was the best title. Sounds like you should make some videos then.

Omg your a genius 😯

Routers are designed to cut wood. The rpm of a router is a good start.

Agreed, you definitely don’t need a spindle

if i could find a bt30 spindle head that's not an immediate gutpunch, or from china, because shipping from there is unreliable lately, i'd have something worth crowing about.

i would much rather have a 1.5kw air cooled spindle than a router. if nothing else you can hear yourself think.

The noise reduction it’s great

Willing to bet you never worked on a motorcycle or popping those bolts loose would have been easier.

those days are long gone my friend... and like I had previous replied, I wasn't trying to judge or be a dick, I was just pointing it out and giving you a heads up. If I was wrong, then I apologize. That said, I am pretty sure that we both know that I wasn't. Instead of trying to attack the structure of my sentences, albeit with poor spelling, maybe just take it for what it was and move on.. I've noticed in your more recent videos that the problem is much better and/or not visible at all. Which is great and also the entire reason for the original comment... rock on. I got nothing but love for what you are doing and now i have serious CNC envy of your new setup w the spindle! Cheers.@@TwoMooseDesign
