hi InventIt,
Nice work,
but
Im bit baffled because bearings arragement you use.
Why you do not use DB ( Duplex Back-to-Back) arrangement???
Is it face-to-face arrangement?
Or do I see wrongly?
And Grease - what it is?
I have the same looks in Garage - it is exteme good for boats, cars ...
but never for Spindle!
Im wrong again?
Cheers,
Herbert,

Now Im making taper 30 spindle, again direct drive, not so high speed - just up to 15k RPM, but planned with automatic toolchanger. Was very hard and long time looking for adequate spindle shaft - finally got it - German made, high quality
