Hello,

Recently I acquired a very cheap VDI30 live toolholder which works with ER25 collets. And by very cheap one must read: giveaway for free.

I attached a picture of a toolholder similar to what I have.

The holder is in good shape, but I do not have a CNC lathe (therefore no real use for it) and I was thinking to convert it into a small CNC router spindle.

Can you give some opinions about this idea? Would this work?

The plan is to make a collet type fixture to hold it by the throat and install an HTD belt pulley on the shaft spline.

I am a bit worried about overall rigidity.

Thank you,
A.
