    Those are usually used on shapers or moulders with belt driven spindles and large induction motors.

    Yes so I suspected also, but those spindles must also be avaliable for purchase?

    The cheapest option would be to buy an old shaper and strip the parts from it.
    I think that many of these spindles are designed and manufactured for specific machines, and are not generally available for purchase.

    We just had a spindle on our moulder rebuilt, and it was about $2500. I would think the spindle would cost well over $5000.

    I used to work on industrial finger jointers. With a 50mm hole that is a large cutter for an industrial machine, normally powered with a 20KW or larger motor. Check with Weinig https://www.weinig.com/en/ Also you may be able to find a used GreCon finger jointer in your area.

    For smaller machines, search for shaper or wood shaper. Normally found with up to 25mm arbors.

    How about just making it? order a machined and grinded shaft, put it in quality bearings and a pulley?
    This is the cutter my customer wants and the maker says 5-7.5kw so I guess I have to trust them: https://www.kyocera-unimerco.se/kyoc...w410df170-001/

    Are you building some type of machine to do finger joints?

    Why not just buy a shaper, which is what these cutters are made for?
