    Machineries handbook etc

    I have the 25th edition ~7"x5" format. Although its the classic wealth of information, increasingly find it a PITA to look for things to the point I usually go on the internet first.

    Bench magnifier lens

    Tips/Techniques Manual speed control for brushless spindle

    These brushless motor kits come in a variety of flavors between 500-900? watts. I think some of you might even be running one? I'm starting to think they are not created equal. My question is if I want to vary speed with a manual knob (vs driven through software in CNC application) what am I...
