New build Adelaide, South Australia

Hopefully it will earn it’s keep by carving out kite surfing bits and pieces. Cutting mostly aluminum and foam. Ramps 1.4 and Chinese 1500w VFD spindle.

That yellow is a great colour. Also like how neat your cables are.

What height did you go for on z-axis?

Can we get more info on the spindle?

 

I get about 180mm of useful z-movement.

It’s more powerful and heavier then I wanted, but I could not easily find a proper brush-less, 2 bearing spindle under 1500w. It’s practically silent. The fan in the VFD is louder than the spindle.
