I am making an adaptor for a high speed spindle. It is being made from
a 6x1x18" aluminum block. Three tools, 1/2" end mill, for big stuff,
1/4" pointy end carbide mill/drill for engraving, and a 1/4" end mill
for making slits.

It is running right now and it is kind of awesome.

I need a chip auger!

Meant to ask... what did you finally settle on for a high speed spindle?

I'm looking at the Porter Cable 892 for a step up on one of my machines.
(Yeah I have two now)

Or fishing poles.

Or guns.
