Thanks much for the high-speed spindle answers guys! Stefan, you said the 30eur micromot was 'much better' than the 100eur IB-E ?? In what way? Chris, sorry, but what are "skete" bearings? <g> I guess when I asked about high-speed spindles, I was thinking more in terms of 60krpm...a more proper speed for .015-.030 carbide drills. Dremels, even in a CNC machine, seem to break bit once in a while for no apparent cause...and I'm thinking it has a lot to do with both sloppy bearings and too low a speed. It seems that any fluctuation in feed-rate, play in the Z-axis, or variation in board material, might be making the bit take far too big a chip-load for the low 30krpm speed. Just a theory... <g> Is anyone using anything above 30krpm? Which ones, and what did they cost? my thanks again, Richard -- ============================ Please do NOT add or "subscribe" me to any lists or databases.
