Is a Spindle Needed on a Hobbyist CNC?

In this video, we'll go over what it takes to install a spindle and if you need one at all? As this isn't a super in-depth video ill tag videos/ articles that helped me out when I installed it. I'll also touch on some accessories and things I've been using with our Onefintiy CNC.

My spindle was also spinning in reverse, you can push a button on the VFD to fix this but I didn't want to do that every time I turned it on. I simply swapped two wires coming from the spindle to the VFD and it fixed the rotation direction. I cannot find where I read this but do some research before you start swapping random wires!

Etsy shops that offer Onefinity parts, I have gotten things from these 3 shops, and have been great.

Spindles
I own the 110v 2.2kw 80mm This sucks a ton of energy for 10 which is more than the basic 110v circuit can handle. I have had no issues and runs just fine for me but be aware of the amp draw of this spindle! Getting 220 isn't all that hard and I would recommend the 220v version if you want 2.2kw.

If I would repurchase I would probably just buy the 110v 1.5kw with the standard spindle size.

These are a HUANYANG Spindles, there are other brands but i have heard mixed reviews on them/ which is why I went with this brand.
I was also told the plug on top of these spindles isnt the best quality as they had one fail and reccomened this plug to replace it, I havent had any issues yet but mine is relatively new.

The link below is from PNW and the spindle is expensive but based on reviews from others in the Onefinty Facebook group it seems to work great. The spindle comes ready to cut I believe, which means you won't need to program anything or solder any wires.
