You will definitely ruin the bearings in a spindle with that if you have a haas machine. Speaking from experience, I used to use 5 thou endmills for tooling for a semiconductor plants dies. It sounds really cool right before it starts to spawl

Jeepinmatt has a secret weapon that saves Haas spindle bearings (and DTH bearings).

That looks cheap

Lace covers made from salvaged boot tongues, reconditioned in used motor oil. Serves a similar purpose as pecker pertectors (Flat-biller killer reference). If ya don't know, ya don't know.

Youd be surprised. Probably cheaper than a single spindle bearing on a full size mill or lathe.

So less than $20k, I’m really just jealous of your access to cool tools

In the men's room at Butts n Such. Used to be A&G and the menu is about the same. The food was good.

Another good day. Walked to Bird island. A little over 5 miles round trip.

Also had to do a motor swap in the last original motored SCX24 because it finally burned up. Fortunately i brought a spare.

Totally fixable.

Ugh. Friggin cheap chinese crap. At least the cheap chinese crap to replace it is also cheap in price.

I have 2 of these HobbyFans now and it's the best I tried so far:
Amazon product ASIN B0B17NM4ML
I also have this Injora:
Amazon product ASIN B09XMN5MPH
The Hobbyfans ones are a little faster than stock and have great low speed control and torque. The Injora is a little slower than stock and has even better low speed control and torque. Also, the Hobbyfans one has the correct screw orientation, so you don't have to swap out the motor plate.

For the Hobbyfans one on a JLU, all I had to do was trim the battery tray leg at the back of the motor. First cut was below the little step in the face, but that was too low, so go a little bit above the step where the red line is in this pic and should be good to go.

I think the Injora is similar, but its been a while since I did it, so it might be a little bigger. I just cut the leg off on that one I think.

Duckling rescue mission was a success! Found him in the creek about 200 yards from the pond where they normally chill. Not sure how he made it that far but he's happy to be with momma again.

Last day at the beach so we built the ultimate 24th scale sand course. It was the size of a small house.

And that's a strong bridge!

And probably our last Sunset sunset for the year.

When you need just 1 gasket, but No one carries it! I found my best buy on E bay, even though shipping was still 5 -7 days. I got a spare, incase I screw up Another one. I was Amused, at the manufacturer! [AMC oil pump gasket]
