Well, my machine should arrive in approximately 53 days according to the web site but this baby will arrive the week of 12/14. I’m excited and nervous to wire it up and have it programmed when the assembly of the new OF takes place. > **[170.95US $ 14% OFF|1.5kw Er11 Air Cooled Spindle Motor 220v/110v Diameter...](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255801051108760.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.22bb4c4dF5uos8&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US)** > > Smarter Shopping, Better Living!

I looked at the specs to see if the collet could handle a 1/2 inch bit. I didn’t see where it could. Did I miss something??? ---

I just bought this and started a thread about it on FB the other day. It can only go up to 1/4. It comes with a few metric collets but you can get some 1/8 and 1/4 collets from amazon. ---

Thank you for responding. I have committed to a trim router for now but the next one will be a spindle… Dave ---

Grant, Did you have any success with using this spindle? I am curious to know if I can control the spindle speed during carving, using Carbide Create? ---

Me too. I ordered it on 12/3 and it was to ship immediately. Its been on back-order and they promised to ship it on the 27th which they did. For the delay they are sending a ful set of collets for the spindle which I am OK with.
