i need a new spindle

[austin.mn]

Maybe some of you out there can help me out here a little. at the moment i am running a variable speed porter cable router, it has done a good job for a while, but i need something better. the PC has .005 runout, and that is just rotating it by hand, i would imagine that it is worse as the rpms rise. i mostly cut aluminum with it 90 and 50 degree v bits, and 1/8th straight cutting bits. with the 1/8th i take .035 passes at 30ipm with a lite coolant mist. i cut up to .045 deep cuts with the v bits at the same rate.

i would like to get my feed rates a little higher and definately higher precision. would a taig or sherline possibly work? i don't have a ton of money to spend but i really want to be able to make some precision parts.

thank you for your help
