Makita Bearing went Bad

Hey Alex,

@MindOfMcClure

Maybe a silly question, but why could you not adapt one of the AMB spindles to the OneFinity? They sell Holder for ∅43 Euro and Zero point clamping system so couldn’t this be adapted?

this becomes clear when you follow the thread that discussed that the other day to its end;

@Aiph5u

Look at how the AMB (former Kress) , Suhner, and Mafell milling motors look like: The 43 mm portion is only of a defined height, enough to be clamped at this point,
[…]
So if you just create a 43 mm mount that looks like the 65 and 80 mm Onefinity mounts, and clamp a 43 mm motor into it, it is unlikely that you reach your workpiece, which usually is a few inches more below.

So what a 43 mm mount for such motors would need, is that it protrudes down below the Z assembly. How this could look like is shown in the thread linked above.
