Spindle Drive
This is my current spindle drive with its' three belts and multiple idler pulleys. Buried in the frame in the back corner is the spindle drive motor - it's a whopping 60 watt motor. It's fine for an engraver, but I use it as a CNC mill/router. That motor's gotta go, I've got a 1Hp Bosch trim router that is just waiting to take the place of the original spindle. The last thing the original spindle will do is machine its' replacement.
