The Carbide 3D 65mm VFD Spindle Kit - 110V is a meticulously engineered solution for Shapeoko CNC Routers, offering enhanced power and reduced noise compared to standard trim routers. This kit is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, featuring a plug-and-play setup that integrates seamlessly with Shapeoko machines. The spindle kit includes a 65mm air-cooled spindle, which is compatible with Shapeoko models 3, 4, Pro, and 5 Pro, and is particularly recommended for use with the HDZ or Z-Plus systems due to its weight. The spindle's RPM is fully controlled by G-code, providing precision and ease of use.
The kit incorporates a pre-wired and pre-programmed Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) unit, housed in a custom enclosure to ensure safety and minimize electrical noise. This enclosure includes an AC filter and a speed control board, allowing for efficient and reliable operation. The VFD is preprogrammed with locked parameters to prevent accidental configuration changes, ensuring consistent performance. The spindle is air-cooled, eliminating the need for complex water-cooling systems, thus simplifying installation and maintenance.
This spindle kit is designed exclusively for use with Carbide 3D CNC machines and is not compatible with other systems. It also eliminates the need for additional accessories like the BitRunner, as it includes built-in functionality for controlling both spindle power and RPM. The spindle is compatible with Sweepy 65 for dust collection, and users of the Sweepy Dust Boot are advised to consider the Deep Sweep adapter for optimal performance.
Note: The VFD controller cannot operate on a GFCI outlet, and the spindle is only compatible with 110V power sources.
