I think that you are on the right trail, except for the spindle, I recommend that you i'vest in an atc (automatic tool change) spindle, it's a game changer and a tool height setter. It means that you need compressed air as well, but that means you can use fog lubrication instead. I have a...

Fein cordless multitool is head and shoulders better than the rest, lower vibration is the standout. I still have my first corded one which is 30 years old now (Alan bolt slips a bit) but if you search you'll find a new one with batteries for £250. The original was £450 which was used in a...

I have 3 non standard belt machines, the biggest 1900x1200 and have to have belts made for them, minimum order 10 per grit £35 each, so I would pick one with an off the shelf available belt size

Is it a capacitor start motor? If so a new capacitor may solve this issue
