Spindle upgrade on a Tormach
Hey, Guys hopefully this is not frowned on here as it's not really an Acorn-related question. Looking for some input on upgrading a Tormach series 3 1100 to a 10K spindle? What would it take to do it? Tormach does not offer that for the older machines. The current stock Spindel is 5500 RPMs.

Re: Spindle upgrade on a Tormach
Something you should be discussing with Tormach. Probably the spindle cartridge design and it's precision bearings.BillB wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 10:16 pm Hey, Guys hopefully this is not frowned on here as it's not really an Acorn-related question.

Re: Spindle upgrade on a Tormach
I did ask Tormach there is no upgrade option for the main spindle on the older 1100 mill, that is why I'm asking here to see if there is a 3rd party option. I figured you guys would know.martyscncgarage wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 9:10 amSomething you should be discussing with Tormach.
