Air Turbine Spindle

[jimp]

Hi all I am looking for a Air Turbine Spindle to fit on our CNC Mill BT40 fitting there seems to be a few good one around but my problem is we drill small holes in Quartz 0.025" and need to have through coolant. Does anybody know where I could source one.

 

Thanks in advance Jim from Bonnie Scotland

 

PS this is still the best forum in the world.

NSK America comes to mind. I've been looking at these for a bit to add on a couple CNC's for drilling..... No particular model in mind to direct you to. Just talk to their tech on your needs...

I second the NSK choice. I have an 80k air speeder that is awesome.

Dragracer,

What are you using your NSK spindle for? I am looking for something to do engraving with very small cutters on sort of a personal R&D project. Do NSK's jig grinding spindles work well for engraving? The NSK milling spindles look like they are just the ticket but NSK Planet jig grinding spindles show up on ebay periodically for cheap.

I use it for engraving, small detail surface work. It holds 1/8 tools so I use it for tiny detail stuff.

Sounds good. Thanks for the info. I'll be shopping.
