Well, I finally made the time to swap the old PC for my new 2.25HP HSD spindle. Ahhhhhhhh. My ears are happy and my cheeks are sore from smiling all week.
I have a couple of questions regarding the warm-up and cool-down procedures. I can follow the 6 minute warm up procedure mentioned in the instructions, but then what? Since the fan runs all the time I assume there is no cool-down period and I can just turn the spindle off when I'm done cutting?
What about the shorter intervals when changing bits or sheets - anywhere from a minute or two to 5 or 10 minutes. I have to stop the spindle to change the bit, do I have to warm it back up for the amount of time it was off? How about the time between sheets, anywhere from 3 minutes to a stop for lunch. Just leave it running?
I keep having the urge to jump for the stop button when I see the tool head for the material but it sounds like I forgot to turn it on. What a difference.
Thanks for any advice.
