check your spelling, (prosses) is not a word. I think you mean process!

[@michaelmcclure1167]

Can I purchase the quick disconnect for the spindle? I have a spindle and pump. Great job!

[@JNKBCS]

This was exactly what i needed. looking to order my longmill next month along with the spindle and wanted to make sure i had everything for the water cooled spindle.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

JNKBCS, glad to hear this one helped you brother! I bet you are excited to upgrade.

[@ernsteliden6719]

I'm thinking, why not make the holes for the fluid lines with the cnc, before starting the project of upgrade. Also, i would have cut a groove in the bucket to just under the line of the lid. That way the lid will be pretty tight against dust and debris. Just my thoughts. Thanks Garrett for an awesome video.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

ernsteliden6719, that is a great idea brother! I like that. Give it a shot and see how it goes.

QUESTION: Do you have a link to buy that larger Drag Chain or have the digital file?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi Joseph. Yes, here it is → amzn.to/3uVoX8b

[@roymainey4726]

Hi Garrett. I notice you setting the height of the spindle above the spoilboard before clamping it. How high do you recommend 👍

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Hi Roy. Okay, I made a video for you. I am uploading it to KZbin now. Here is the link to that video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXu5ZGBmYs2Brbc

I recommend adding a flow indicator to any water cooler for a spindle. This lets you know at a glance if there is good flow.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

aiustacitus4242, I like that brother! That is a great idea

[@mikewalden2243]

Just watched the video, thanks for the info because my MK 2.5 is ordered, the spindle is ordered, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the installation process. Question, why 3 larger drag chains if the router only uses 2?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

mikewalden2243, Congratulations on your new MK 2.5 and spindle order! The reason for three larger drag chains is to provide flexibility for potential future upgrades or additions to your machine setup. It's always good to have extra capacity for any enhancements you may want to make down the road. Happy woodworking!

Nice video - 1) can you share the link to the Longmill upgraded front mount for the 2.2 spindle, I'm currently using a Makita router and am upgrading to the PWNCNC 2.2 water cooled spindle. I looked on the Sinci website and cannot find it. 2) Link to the flow meter? Thanks

[@IDCWoodcraft]

ssddcc, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Unfortunately, I can't provide direct links, but you can usually find the upgraded front mount for the Longmill on the manufacturer's website or forums related to your CNC machine. For the flow meter, check for popular options on sites like Amazon or specialized CNC suppliers; they often have various models available. Happy woodworking!

Good day as I am doing research on the long mill cnc labs offer a spindle o there site but looking in to it they say there’s is not app unit do you know any issues with that

[@IDCWoodcraft]

robertanscombe1508, Good day! The Long Mill CNC does offer a spindle, but compatibility can sometimes depend on specifics like the model and your intended use. It's best to check the manufacturer’s guidelines and user experiences on forums or reviews for any potential issues or limitations.

[@garygraham3915]

Pls don't forget to mention that moving to a pwncnc spindle you loose the ability to use the sienci labs laser unit. I use both. Love the pwncnc spindle just bought one.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

garygraham3915, good point on that one brother! It would be amazing to be able to have support for both.

[@LindaFerrier]

What do i need to do to the z axes motor

[@IDCWoodcraft]

LindaFerrier, It's important to regularly check the Z-axis motor for any debris or dust that may affect its performance. Clean the motor and make sure the connections are secure. You can also lubricate the moving parts to ensure smooth operation! Happy cncing!

[@jayfluegel7401]

why not use automotive antifreeze for coolant? My understanding is that windshield washer fluid is pretty corrosive.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

jayfluegel7401, that would work well too brother! You need to keep antifreeze safe around pets thought as it is toxic.

[@ernsteliden6719]

I was thinking the same, but then a thought that in case of a leaking i much rather have etanol on everything then glykol. No mess with wider fluid.

[@kerrycassella66]

Hi Garrett, I designed a fan shroud for the fan on top of the VFD. The shroud should stop wood chips and shavings getting inside the VFD. I put the design files on cults3d.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

kerrycassella66, good call brother! That sounds like a great upgrade, ill be sure to check it out.

[@Gemitaur]

I don't see the link for the flowmeter

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Gemitaur, Hey there! Thanks for checking out the video. I recommend reaching out to PWN CNC directly for more info on the flowmeter! They should be able to guide you in the right direction my friend!
