Woo, finally! If you’d asked me a few weeks ago I’d probably have bought one but I’ve already sunk nearly a Nomad worth of money into upgrading my Nomad spindle a bit more drastically.
For anyone who hasn’t had the need to do it, he’s not making this up, it actually takes ~5 minutes to remove and reinstall the stock cartridge, it’s super easy.
Paging @spargeltarzan?
@TonyDangerCoiro (or anyone who already has one of these), I’m curious if you can try low WOC, high DOC cuts before and after installing the new spindle cartridge. I tried with the stock cartridge but had no luck and concluded that the answer was to replace the Z-axis entirely (and probably the X and Y axes after it) so I’d be interested to hear if this makes a large difference.
I’d also be interested to know how this works. Is it the ability to push the machine harder without chatter? Any numbers?
