View Full Version : What is the RPM of your CNC Router? widgitmaster 04-20-2006, 07:54 PM Here are some of the standard spindle speeds: Dremel 5,000 to 35,000 rpm Laminate Router 30000 rpm Plunge Router 8,000 to 24,000 Die Grinder 30000 rpm Eric southernexplore 04-21-2006, 01:21 AM I am using a Ridgid Laminate trimmer and it is 30000 RPM I think. One thing bad I will say about the trimmer is that it has a poor design for a collet. One thing I will say good about it is that it is very small! Tommy C. bunalmis 04-21-2006, 07:14 AM I need 60000 rpm, max 100W, low noisy motor. Who sell ? JRoque 04-21-2006, 10:38 PM Widgit, good one! I always wondered how folks got their highspeed machining done with a slow spindle typical of some metal machines. Bunalmis, try Precise (http://www.precise.us/) and see what they have for air spindles. Those are expensive though. eBay is the obvious choice if you're ok with used/surplus. I've seen some nice NSK and Kavo spindles rated at that speed. I have a couple of Precise 45K RPM ones that seem plenty fast for anything I've thrown at them. JR diecutter 04-23-2006, 11:26 AM Metal router has 6k to 10k rpm. Wood router has 1k to 30k rpm. widgitmaster 04-26-2006, 05:58 PM It looks like the 2400-RPM Plunge Router is the most popular choice for CNC router spindles! |
