(More customer reviews)This motor is very quiet, as advertised, but at 7000 RPM it is slower than may be expected
I picked up a black and decker rotary tool for 25$ and its lowest setting was approximately 12000 RPM while also being quite quiet (the higher settings would cause the bit to get hot quickly, scorch the wood and get quite noisy).
Also keep in mind that this motor does not include a power supply, one more thing you'll have to buy separately. Though these can be picked up for cheap, I was using a replacement printer power supply.
This spindle package is nice because it comes with mounts, hardware and a bit was thrown in with mine, however a power supply would have been nice.

This motor with precision Jacobs chuck can accept 0.3 - 4mm drill bits or end mills. The speed can be adjusted from 5000 rpm (24v) to 8500 rpm (36v). The optimum operation input voltage is between 26 - 36Volt DC. The brushes can be replaced, and one set of extra brush is included in the package. It also come with the holding frames that you can easily put onto your CNC machine, hardware packet is also included.The best of this motor is that it is super quiet during operation, even less noise than the stepper motors make. Pictures below show the spindle working on a block of aluminum.All following items will be included in the package: * One DC spindle motor with Jacobs chuck * Chuck key * One set of replacement brush * Motor holding frames (4 pcs) * Hardware packet (screws, washers and etc)
