Busy season is upon us, and my wife gave me the luxury of taking a couple of weeks and re-doing some things that have hindered me for a while with the machine. At the end of all of that, it doesn't seem to be working out and I need to switch tact for a little while.
The VFD should be worth $500 all day long, and that will get me a router that will do what I need for right now, and if I decide to go back to a spindle, I won't have reservations in doing so.
Something about this spindle just spooks me, and after having issues on and off for 7 years, I am just ready to move on.
If anyone wants to purchase the spindle, I will sell it for $50 + shipping as is. It may be a beast, I just have never been able to find out.
