This is a complete kit to upgrade your Shapeoko 5 Pro to a powerful 2.2kW spindle. This kit includes everything you need to get up and running, including:
- 80mm Spindle Mount (Shapeoko 5 Pro only)
- 2.2kW, 80mm Spindle
- 2.2kw, 220V VFD
- 110V Spindle Chiller
- Plumbing
- Wiring
- Gas Strut Kit
- 80mm Sweepy dust boot
NOTE: The 80mm VFD spindle can cut a lot of material quickly and generate a lot of chips. To prevent clogging, we do not recommend using 35mm vacuum hoses with this spindle.
Should I get the 80mm or the 65mm VFD Spindle?
If you have to ask, we recommend the 65mm VFD for the following reasons:
- The 65mm VFD is a lot cheaper and gives you most of the benefits.
- The 65mm VFD is 110V, so it's easier to find a plug for it.
- The 65mm VFD doesn't have a chiller so it's easier to set up and there's one less thing to maintain.
The best reason for getting the 80mm spindle over the 65mm is to use cutters with a shank of up to 1/2". The 80mm spindle is more powerful than the 65mm version, but most projects are not limited by spindle power.
