I haven't decided how much yet, but I have decided its time to sell the
Taig. I'll probably sell the little MaxNC too. I haven't decided what I am
going to replace them with, but I have decided its time for a better quality
small machine. I still need a few things for the Hurco, so I figured I'ld
use the money to get those and get it going, then decide what I want to do
for a smaller high speed spindle machine. An adaptation on the Hurco or
another machine. Have not decided yet.

taig mill or lathe? what sucks about their stuff other than the large
motors that look like they want to snap off the two screws that hold them
on?

Say, where did you end up on the high speed spindle project on the
Hurco? I haven't followed RCM 100% so I apologize if you already
covered this.

I haven't done anything. There is a guy in Florida with a used Yuasa
speeder at a fair price (with collets) I have looked at, but I think I am
probably going to make something like this instead using a Chinese motor and
VFD.

Except that I would go with smaller bearing on the spindle side and and get
the speed up around 30000. Instead of reducing speed with it like Martin
did with his.
