A rough guestimation puts it in the 350kg range, and the base at around 400kg, table in and around 75kg and the head casting around 90kg.. The idea with the molds is to brace them with 45x90 and load straps for cargo. |

So the BT40 spindle has arrived. It is suprisingly good quality. Wit a rod mounted in the spindle that sticks 150mm out from the spindle the throw is less than 1.5/1000mm I spins smoothly with some "noise" im guessing it need lubricant. With it i got a 64 tooth pulley for the motor and 3 ER32 holders. Final price with shipping for one of these is approx 1480usd - and thats with DHL Express shipping from china to Sweden (arrived within 5 days). |

It's one of those Chinese manfactured OEM spindles you can find on alibabs.com . this one is a 130mm housing with 5 bearings. Which 4 them is angular contact bearings. Max rpm is 6000 and im guessing it needs some form of cooling. Need to ask the agent. :) |
