    Designed to run at high speeds with very little vibration, these motors often drive smooth, steady cuts in CNC machines. They’re brushless, so they run faster, last longer, and are more efficient than brushed DC motors. They also have a higher torque-to-weight ratio. You’ll need a brushless DC motor driver (not included) to power and control these spindle motors. They’re not compatible with automatic tool changers.
    They come with an ER-11 collet for holding round-shank tools, such as router bits, drill bits, and end mills. Collets for larger shank sizes are sold separately.
    Total Indicated Runout (TIR) Accuracy—Total Indicated Runout (TIR) is a measure of rotational smoothness—the lower the value, the less wobble a rotating tool will have and the more accurate it will be. When choosing a replacement spindle motor, you want one that has an equal or better TIR.

    Panel-Mount Controller

    Set and maintain the speed of these motors with the included speed control, which automatically adjusts the power based on feedback from a built-in sensor. These motors combine the speed control characteristics of permanent-magnet brushless DC motors with the convenience of AC power—an integrated inverter means they operate on 120 volts AC. They bolt directly to gearboxes, pumps, and other machinery.
    These motors have manual overload protection, which turns them off if they overheat. An LED on the control face indicates when the overload protection is triggered—flip the reset switch to start motors once they cool. The panel-mount controller also lets you turn motors on or off, change the speed, and switch between clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. To create a control station, mount it up to 10 feet from the motor with the included cable.
    Rated for continuous duty, these motors can run machines that require constant power, such as fans and conveyors.
    Totally Enclosed Nonventilated (TENV) Motor Enclosure—These motors have totally enclosed nonventilated (TENV) enclosures, which don’t have vents, so you can install them in damp and dirty environments. They don’t have a fan, so motors get warmer and run less efficiently than they would in open or fan-cooled enclosures.

    3-Axis Tabletop CNC Milling Machines

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Milling Machines. 3-Axis Tabletop CNC Milling Machines .
    Design and machine small parts for rapid prototyping. Similar in size to a desktop printer, these CNC machines mill plastic, wood, copper, aluminum, and other soft metals up to 8" × 8" × 3". Compared to manual milling machines, they are faster, more consistent, and able to create more complex shapes; however, they are not for production-scale work. Use them for milling contoured 3D objects, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and small parts such as gears, retaining rings, and shims. They are compatible with 2D and 3D CAD files and include software for creating 2D designs from scratch, no experience required.
    Machines move on three axes: the spindle travels 8" side to side and 3" up and down; the table travels 8" front to back. They have a 130W brushless DC motor that powers the spindle up to 24,000 rpm with 0.0001" of TIR (total indicated runout). TIR is a measure of rotational smoothness—the lower the value, the less wobble a rotating tool will have, and the more accurate it will be.
    All include one square end mill for making square slots, pockets, and edges and one ball end mill for making rounded slots, slopes, and contours. A tool length measurement device ensures accurate cuts, even when switching tools. A 1/2" MDF wasteboard protects the end mill from damage, similar in principle to a kitchen cutting board. The built-in enclosure contains chips and reduces noise.
    Machines also include a 1/8" ER-11 collet for holding round-shank tools, such as router bits, drill bits, and end mills, with shank sizes from 0.109" to 1/8".

    With a tilting, rotating table, these milling machines create more complex shapes than 3-axis models without requiring multiple setups. By moving the spindle and rotating the workpiece simultaneously, they’re capable of making helical gears, manifolds, and other small parts that require 3D contouring, hollowing, and undercutting. Similar in size to a desktop printer, they mill plastic, wood, and soft metal pieces up to 4.55" × 5" × 3.55" for rapid prototyping of small-parts; however, they’re not for production-scale work. They are compatible with 2D and 3D CAD files.
    Machines move on five axes: the spindle travels 4.55" side to side; the table travels 5" front to back, 3.55" up and down, tilts 160°, and rotates 360°. They have a 200W brushless DC motor that powers the spindle up to 10,000 rpm with 0.002" of TIR (total indicated runout). TIR is a measure of rotational smoothness—the lower the value, the less wobble a rotating tool will have, and the more accurate it will be.
    All have a single-flute, carbide square end mill for making square slots, pockets, and edges. A tool length measurement device ensures accurate cuts, even when switching tools. A steel enclosure contains chips and reduces noise.
    Machines include a 1/8" ER-11 collet for holding round-shank tools, such as router bits, drill bits, and end mills, with shank sizes from 0.109" to 1/8".

    Compact enough for a workbench, these lathes are best for prototyping and one-off jobs in tool rooms or fabrication and maintenance shops. They do everything a full-size lathe can—turning, facing, threading, and knurling. Built from cast iron, they’re durable and stable. Plus, they have precision bearings in the headstock and spindle. They meet DIN 8606 for accuracy and performance.
    Choose from six spindle speeds to tailor cuts to different materials and tasks. Because the speeds are set, you can’t fine-tune these lathes like you can with a variable-speed lathe.

    Compact but powerful, these machines can mill, drill, tap, bore, and more. Since they fit on a workbench, they’re a good choice for job shops, maintenance departments, and other multipurpose spaces. The table is cast iron for strength and stability, and they have heavy duty tapered roller bearings. A digital readout displays real-time tool positioning along two axes for increased machining accuracy.

    Floor Manual Lathes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lathes. Floor Manual Lathes.
    Often found in tool rooms and maintenance shops, these powerful lathes are used for turning, facing, threading, boring, and knurling. They’re built and tested to DIN 8606 standards for accuracy and performance. The frame and bed are made of cast iron for stability and a long service life. For precise, repeatable motion, these lathes have hardened and ground ways. They also have helical gears for smooth power transmission.
    Twist the knobs on the front to choose from 18 spindle speeds to tailor cuts to different materials and tasks. Because these lathes have set speeds, you can’t fine-tune them with as much precision as variable-speed lathes.
    Use the hinged door and drawers in the base for tool storage.
