Everything should arrive in the next couple days and before the weekend, I should have all the mechanical parts completed.
I amd going to fit this router with the standard 2.2Kw spindle. They are a good value and easy to get and mine has been working fine for a couple years now. However, I am less then impressed with the Hyuang VFD. It works OK on my current router but I know there's got to be something better available. Iv'e done a little looking around online for 220VAC VFD's and the Sunfar (KL) E500 looks better, there is a model made by LAPOND that looks OK, Hopewind looks like a good product and I thought at one time Hitachi made a decent drive but I havent found it yet. If anyone has any input on VFD's please, post it here. Thanks.
