Wolfgang engineering spindle

[frejohg]

I want to buy a Wolfgang engineering spindle but they dosent seem to be avalible anymore. Are they coming back any time soon? Or is there another alternative?

I would like to sell it since I will be using Bosch routers instead in the future.

Price? Condition?
Why are you switching to be bosch? Isnt the wolfgang up to the task?
Is the dual bearing good enough for fine pcb work?

frejohg,

The Wolfgang is awesome for PCB work, the person switching to a Bosch is probably cutting wood with much larger end mills.

The Wolfgang only holds .125 Diameter shank tooling.

Yes, I am cutting wood, mother of pearl, recon stone. I am going to use the bosch in a new router design. I bought the Wolfgang Engineering spindle in my ongoing search for decent runout specs. Now that PreciseBits is making addon collets for various routers my personal search is over.

The wolfgang spindle is probably better for PCB work.

The one I have is new, unused and comes with the motor and motor mount.

Everything that came with the spindle will be included.

It is the dual bearing model which is required for PCB trace routing since the single bearing model does not take side loads well at all.

PM me for price negotiations.

I've been using one for a couple of years, in fact I have two. They are available on Ebay or have been until recently. I use mine for engraving work with 30 deg. .010" tip engraving points. They are exceptional to that kind of work. Ran a 1/8" end mill and did some pocketing with it too.
