What’s Included with the PwnCNC Spindle Kit?
The PwnCNC Spindle Kit is our lower-cost DIY spindle upgrade package. Each kit is configured around the spindle motor, voltage, cooling type, and controller option selected before checkout.
This kit includes the core components needed for a VFD-controlled spindle upgrade, but it does not include the finished PwnCNC VFD enclosure found with the full Spindle System.
Core Kit Components
- Selected spindle motor — based on the motor option chosen on the product page.
- Pre-programmed VFD — configured for the selected spindle motor.
- Detachable VFD keypad — includes manual speed control dial.
- Power cord — matched to the selected system voltage.
- Shielded spindle cable — pre-crimped and matched to the selected spindle kit.
- Collets and spindle wrenches — matched to the selected spindle size.
Spindle Cable Length
- Standard spindle kits include a 20' pre-crimped shielded spindle cable.
- 3.5kW and 4.5kW ER32 spindle kits include a 29' spindle cable.
Also Included When Applicable
- Controller cable or control accessory — based on the CNC controller selected during configuration, when available.
- Water-cooling components — included with water-cooled spindle kit variants.
- Machine-specific or controller-specific accessories — included only when selected or listed with your configuration.
Water-Cooled Kits
Water-cooled spindle kit variants include a 110V pond pump and standard blue coolant tubing.
Coolant liquid and coolant reservoir are not included. Many customers use a dedicated bucket or reservoir with an appropriate coolant mixture.
Kool Connectors are not included with the standard Spindle Kit, but they can be purchased separately for customers who want a cleaner water-cooling connection.
Air-Cooled Kits
Air-cooled spindle kits do not require a cooling pump, coolant tubing, coolant liquid, or reservoir. This makes them a simpler option for customers who want fewer supporting components.
