Please do not take this video as a blueprint on how to build a spindle. It just shows my way of building my spindles as a hobbyist.<br>Building a simple spindle is not rocket science but it is a bit tricky. So there are a few things to consider when building a spindle, especially when spindle bearings are used. However, going into these basics in more detail would have gone beyond the scope of this video.<br><br>In the video description I have linked a document about the basics of precision bearings for you. If you want to know more about this topic, I highly recommend reading this application note.

These diy machines are not hobby machines anymore. They are mini industrial grade machines! Nice work my friend.

I am building my own CNC machine and have had the idea of using an ER Collet Chuck as a shaft and you are the first person I have been able to find that has posted a video of successfully doing it! Thank you so much for making this video and inspiring me to follow through with the idea!

for the last year or so i just thought of using trailer wheel hubs to make a lathe spindle, with one big enough it could later have the axle shaft bored. getting bearings that would fit the odd sizes might be fun but regular trailer bearings could be used for basic stuff.
