Well it's been a long time since i posted here but i am starting another spindle project and i thought i would share my experiences.

I have been using a 8,000rpm - 28,000rpm Router like most people but had the following problems:-
1.Everytime new bearings were fitted i had to play with shims to prevent endfloat.
2.Bearing life was very short due to vibration and over revving them.
3.Lack of power at any speed below max rpm.
4.Runout on the ER16 adapter i am using was excessive.

After hunting around i eventually found a guy that can supply ER16 extensions that have a step at the bottom to retain the bearings.
This cost me all off £26.00 so it was worth a go.



Let me know what you think initially?
