Offer a 43mm Spindle Mount Option for the Elite Series

Hey Alex,

thank you for putting this into the feature requests.

It is worth noting in this context that there exist variants of these cnc-suitable milling motors that offer a lever-activated, tool-less quick tool change option, like the Mafell FM 1000 PV-WS

or the tool changer models from AMB ELEKTRIK:.


AMB Milling Motor 1050 FME-U DI 230V (for ER16 precision collets)

(besides these manual quick tool changers models, AMB also offers a variant with automatic pneumatic tool change.)

I am very confident that hobbyists and semiprofessionals that own or plan to buy a Onefinity CNC machine would not only be interested in being able to use the cnc-suitable milling motors with 43 mm “Euro” mount, but also the quick tool change variants¹.

These milling motors variants with quick tool changer do not fit into a 43 mm diameter motor mount, but expect a flat spindle mount plate like the universal Z assemblies found on the Z-axis of most CNC machines:

Therefore I think if Onefinity would consider an option for 43 mm “Euro” mount milling motors, if they made a solution similar to this one, it would allow to have a flat mount plate anyway:

1.) Suhner also offers a pneumatic automatic tool changer with SK-15 tool holders, but this one fits 43 mm diameter mounts
