  • Great little upgrade
Size: ER16 Color: 500w ER16 Kit
I recently purchased the Daedalus CNC Brushless Spindle Motor Kit, 500w, and I have been absolutely thrilled with its performance. This kit has taken my CNC projects to a whole new level, and I couldn't be happier with the results. First and foremost, the brushless spindle motor in this kit is a powerhouse. With a rating of 500 watts, it delivers ample power for a wide range of machining tasks. Whether I'm cutting, engraving, or milling, this motor effortlessly handles the workload, providing consistent and reliable performance. One of the standout features of this kit is its precision. The spindle motor operates with remarkable accuracy, allowing me to achieve intricate details and tight tolerances in my projects. This level of precision is crucial for producing high-quality work, and the Daedalus spindle motor excels in this regard. I also appreciate the quiet operation of this motor. Despite its impressive power, it runs surprisingly quietly, which is a significant improvement over some other motors I've used in the past. This reduced noise level creates a more pleasant working environment and allows me to concentrate on my projects without distraction. The kit's build quality is top-notch. Both the motor and the accompanying components feel solid and well-constructed. It's clear that Daedalus has put a lot of attention into the design and manufacturing of this kit, ensuring its durability and longevity. I've put it through some demanding tasks, and it has held up beautifully. Installation was relatively straightforward, and the included instructions were clear and helpful. Even if you're not an experienced CNC enthusiast, you should be able to set up this kit with ease. In terms of value, I consider this kit to be an excellent investment. It provides a significant boost in performance and precision for a reasonable price, making it a cost-effective choice for anyone looking to upgrade their CNC machine. In summary, the Daedalus CNC Brushless Spindle Motor Kit, 500w, has exceeded my expectations in every way. Its power, precision, quiet operation, build quality, and overall value make it a standout product in the world of CNC machining. Whether you're a professional or a hobbyist, if you're looking to enhance your CNC capabilities, I highly recommend considering this kit. It has earned its five-star rating, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. ... show more

  • Solid spindle, ER11 is part of the shaft
Size: ER11 Color: 500w ER11 Kit
Its a nice spindle for the money! A key feature: the ER11 is cut directly into the spindle, not a separate part! The bearings are just deep groove ball bearings: 6002ZZ on the ER end and 6900ZZ on the fan end. A fiber washer is used to shim the top and a wave washer is used to preload the bottom bearing outer race upward. The runout isn't bad, but its irritating if you are using skinny engraving cutters. I measured 0.0005" Total Indicator Reading (TIR) on the spindle OD near the bearing and 0.0007" TIR on a 1/8" diameter tool shank clamped in the collet. The 600 Watt motor read 0.0004" TIR on the spindle OD and 0.008" TIR on the same tool. With the 600 Watt motor clamped in a V-block I was able to move the spindle up and down for a total radial motion of 0.008", measured on the tool. In use, a 0.2mm tip 15 degree V bit at 0.8mm depth produced an effective cut width at the surface of 0.55mm. This should be more like 0.41mm. My results with a 30 degree 0.1mm tip bit were worse: I have both the 500 and 600 Watt motors; the only visible difference is the 600 Watt one is longer. The internal photos are of the 600 Watt motor; the other one is installed on my CNC router. The 600 Watt motor is trifilar wound with all the coils going to a single center tap which is not brought out of the motor. I soldered onto the center tap and measured each coil group: at 2.4 Volts and 9.7 Amps or 0.24 Ohm. Measuring from wire to wire (with less current) I got 0.37 Ohm. All the measurements were very close to each other. My biggest gripe: the air cooling holes on the top are MUCH larger than the bottom. I drilled out my 600 Watt motor's end cap to 1/4" on all 6 holes to improve the air flow. You can remove just this end by pulling three super-long screws; it comes right off. Be SUPER careful about keeping magnetic junk away from the rotor if you pull it out! Clean it with blue tape if you do pull it out! For some reason I get 12,000 RPM on the display (and it sounds fast) with the 500 Watt motor but only 8,000 on the 600 Watt motor (same driver). This is a step up from the brushed DC ER11 spindles (with the pressed on adapter), but its NOTwhat you are looking for if you need zero runout. This has runout and slop, but its good enough on my belt driven CNC! ... show more

  • Machine rigidity far outweighs spindle.
Size: ER11 Color: 600w ER11 Kit
It works okay, I get about 9000 rpm out of the 500w version, I need to emphasize that machine rigidity is far more important than spindles that are designed to run quietly and or lightly, and I've tried my way from wood to homemade welded steel with unsatisfactory results in that department, overall maybe you'll have more luck, better depth of cuts, finer movements, less chatter and less noise than me on your own CNC project. After breaking a lot of endmills I was able to pilot drill 5mm holes for linear rails in 1/4 inch mild steel, get ready for loud noises as with any machine. ... show more

  • so-so
Size: ER11 Color: 600w ER11 Kit
Cons: Hasn't once hit 9000rpm, even at full blast. Hovers around 8800ish, verified by an optical tachometer. Power supply provided is cheap with an always-on fan rather than thermostat control -- not that great for dusty environments, fan bearings have begun to fail. Has a resonance for me (with any cutter) at 8400, so must avoid that RPM. Pros: has been reliable for years 2 years of intermittent cutting. Doesn't generally exceed 50c. Cheap. Easy to setup. ... show more
