Need for speed

[matthewsx]

It could be that the spindle was not in good shape for a long time. May have been failing.

That's what I'm coming to think, I did buy it used off eBay and it has always overheated when running at low speed. I ordered a "scratch & dent" from GlockCNC (or their eBay listing anyway since shipping was less). For what I already have into this thing between money and time I think the extra $100 over the backordered LMS unit should be worth it. If the runout becomes a problem I'll have it ground or replace it but at this point I think I can compensate if needed. Really looking forward to integrating a servo on the new Mesa control board that I haven't gotten going yet.
