Wyatt, I ordered a 220v 2.2KW g penny 80mm spindle with ceramic ball bearings with VFD, VFD instruction manual water pump , water hoses , water bucket ,collets, Never spun or installed. I have a older shapeoko 3 XL that I intended to install it on. After some consultation, as the 3xl may not be rigidity enough, and the 2.2.kw spindle might be too much for the rig, I’m looking for a 65 mm spindle kit. This came shipped to me . Is the 65mm spindle you have water of air cooled? You open for a trade?

The 80MM is quite a beast, and does require a pretty hefty structure. It blew me away that Carbide3D sells their kit with shock, but I get it completely.
My spindle is air cooled, it is Carbide3D’s kit. I’d rather stick with their kit for the 80MM version, to stay within warranty constraints and troubleshooting if needed. I appreciate the trade offer, I just want to stick with their equipment since I’m just starting out with this machine.
