High Speed Spindle Kit, HiTorque Mini Mill
- Fits HiTorque mini mills
- 5000 rpm top speed
- Includes two pulleys and a belt
- Belt is 350-5M-15, 70 teeth
It's important to have high speed bearings, as the standard bearings are not rated to 5000 rpm. Most LittleMachineShop.com HiTorque Mini Mills have high speed bearings--see the Chris' Tips tab.
The increased speed is great for small cutters such as those used for engraving. Just remember that doubling the speed will cut the torque in half.
This high speed spindle kit uses the same belt as the standard drive pulleys.
We do not have installation instructions completed yet, so you are on your own for installation. The pulleys are easy, but if you have to change the bearings you have to press the spindle out and back in. A hydraulic press makes it an easy task.
Switching pulleys to the original set shouldn't take more than 20 minutes.
