Need UK supplier of Spindle Motor

[Action-KAT]

Hi All
Looking for a cutting head for my router build,
looked at the Kress but thinking a proper spindle motor would be better.
I'm a bit worried with the ebay spindles from China
So I'm looking for a UK supplier with a price as close to the china spindles any ideas

cheers KAT

Hi Kat,

Forget it you aint going to find one. . Period. (Been there done that.!!)

I fully recommend Chai at Linearmotionbearings he's a top bloke.

I buy from him all the time for lots of components including my own 2.2kw WC spindle.
I Did have an issue with faulty vfd's and recommend that you buy the vfd in UK but Chai did replace the vfd's (3 in total) without complaint and quickly.

Every thing bought from him as come within 9-14 days with full tracking and I haven't been charged for VAT or duty on anything sent yet. (you watch bet the next bloody thing does now i've said that. .Lol)

Best £200 you'll ever spend promise.!

not what I wanted to hear really, Just worried if I have problems the shipping costs back n forth to get fixed etc, wud make sense getting from a UK supplier.
i have found a couple of options for the VFD in the UK just struggling to find a spindle.
I'll have to have a re think, would like a spindle over a Kress
cheers again

Hi stk2008

no luck as yet, the vfd's I can find here & there but it's the spindle,
they seem to be no existent, all from china so may have to bite the bullet & go with the flow.

The best I've found a vfd for is £206 for a 2hp & £245 for a 3hp
way more than china but u do get UK warranty (b'ham).

just pushes the price up on the package..
