fadal 20k rpm spindle?

hitechmachinellc · Jul 4, 2016

I just recently purchased a used fadal 4020 the seller insists it has a 20,000 rpm spindle. I've ran fadals for many years and never have seen a 20k spindle. My question is, is there a such thing? Thanks to anyone that has any information.

It must not be powered up yet, surely!

Only the Op can tell us. And don't call me Shirley.

FWIW I believe there were high speed spindle options for Fadals although I have never seen one. :scratchchin:

Thanks to everyone that replied. Unfortunately the mill is not powered yet. I guess I'll find out if it has one or not in the upcoming weeks.

open the pendant and read the set up.
it might be a 15k spindle that some did come with for sure.

R.I.P. OP

This would be me hitting cycle start on a supposed 20k Fadal.
