Buying a complete spindle setup for the Shapeoko Pro

There are some photos here. The pack I got from Mechatron had:

  • Spindle
  • Spindle power cable
  • VFD
  • AC line filter
  • Brake resistor
  • Water cooling loop
    • Pump
    • Tubing
    • Fittings
    • Radiator
    • AC fans
    • A bottle of coolant

It’s not that it’s bad, it was just scary for me, it was my first time dealing with mains voltage electricity and I could handle it for the VFD, where it was basically unavoidable, but I didn’t want to touch it for some measly fans.

I used everything they sent me, except for the fans.

That said, you absolutely could build a loop yourself.
