Vevor 2.2kw Water Cooled CNC Spindle Review

Quick video giving my opinion of the Vevor 2.2kw Water Cooled CNC Spindle, which we've been using for around 18mths. #cnc

I hope to see how this works out, thanks!

Thanks for doing this video. I just bought one of these. I sort of didn't think about it, but do you really just use water to cool it or is there something needed to prevent corrosion?

[@TheCNCDen]

No, you don't just use water.
It must be de-ionised water and I always add antifreeze / coolant mix it helps extend the life of the water from going manky, which it will. You do need to change it regularly to, like changing oil in your car. Keep an eye on it around every 6mths roughly.

Thanks 👍

[@TheCNCDen]

Thank you too.

6:20 you mean within a few hundreds of a mm instead of a few thousands right? 0.02 or 20um I'd consider not really great. My RATTM 1.5KW spindle is well below 0.01mm, the needle hardly moved, as measured within the inner taper where the collet sits. The outer diameter isn't really relevant.

How did you manage to get a Vevor into uk? They've stopped shipping to uk for long time, many items failed import inspection!
Ive be3n trying to get another 800w VFD kit, love my 1st and Vevor is very good price

[@TheCNCDen]

(short answer) I bought it around 18mths ago, my understanding the only Vevor item the UK Govt had blocked was the Diesel Heater, and nothing to do with its safety! You'll find many identical products as Vevor is just the label. They maybe a few £more though.

what is the rating on those steppers? are those 23's?

[@TheCNCDen]

I have 34's on my machine.

[@Kathyoftheglade]

@@TheCNCDen wow. she is a true beast of a home CNC.

[@TheCNCDen]

It's not a home CNC and TBH there are better machines, we've improved it since we bought it, we have it in an industrial unit and run it professionally. It's small because that was all the space we have in the unit to accomodate a machine.
One of our other videos is a review of this machine, lets just say there was a few issues when we got it.

[@Kathyoftheglade]

@@TheCNCDen i call it a home machine because its not a big three phase 480v machine running a 12ft bed or some crazy size. but its still a beast for its size. im a controls engineer with the last three decades spent in factories. i have a biased scale for what i call professional machinery.

[@TheCNCDen]

@@Kathyoftheglade That makes sense. The blower on the VAC bed I fitted is 3 phase at the moment, though I may use the spare VFD I now have to put it back to 240v.
