Winston Moy | Quiet Cut Spindle Upgrade for the Shapeoko 2 (#28) @WinstonMakes | Uploaded 9 years ago | Updated 6 minutes ago
Let's talk spindles: I've been weighing a couple options for awhile now (ex. Dremel 4000, DW660), but Inventables was so keen to show off their own upgrade kit that they put one in my hands and said "Go forth and Make things." So here's a brief overview of my experience with the Quiet Cut Spindle...

The upgrade kit consists of the following:
