Digirout Spindles
Click on DigiRout Model Below
Your
DigiRout CNC router can either be equiped with a Porter Cable fixed
base router for economy or a high frequency Industrial spindle for
extra power.
If you plan on using the DigiRout CNC router intermittently then a
Porter Cable routers will work very well. They are one of the heaviest
duty fixed base routers on the market.

Also, don't forget that the proper router bit tooling is needed for a fast quality cut.
Different materials require special tooling geometry (for instance plastics typically need a single "O" flute for chip removal).
If you
plan on running the DigiRout CNC router continuously or if your
application requires high horsepower then we recommend a high frequency
inverter and spindle.
The inverter boosts the AC frequency from 60 hz frquency to over 300 hz
frequency. This makes the spindle, which is an induction motor,
spin at over 18,000 RPM with incredible smoothness and less noise than
a fixed base router.
Additionally, the inverter will maintain speed under cutting load by
regulating the motor current. The industrial spindles also have ultra
high quality duplex angular contact bearings for a high life expectancy.
We offer two basic sizes of spindles. A 1070 frame size (available in
2.7 HP and 4.7 HP) for the DigiRout 1500 and a larger 1090 frame size
(available in 6 HP and 8 HP for the DigiRout 2000).
You will need a larger inverter if you don't have 3 phase power in your
shop since single phase input power to an inverter must be de-rated.

We can
also supply Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) SPindles if your application
requires more tooling than can be handled by 2 vertical manual
change router heads. Beyond two heads we think the the ATC option is
more cost effective then adding more Z axes to the machine. The ATC
spindle is available in 5 HP and 10HP.
