The days when "Made in China" was a red flag for poor quality items are in the past. This air-cooled spindle is quieter than most I've heard, it is entirely vibration free, it is powerful, and it uses all collets up to and including 1/2". The Huanyang VFD required no adjustments of settings in place from the previous spindle, so the installation was easy. Including soldering the leads, it was a 10 minute job. This spindle has been in daily use for many months now, and there are no defects or problems to report. This spindle is a terrific bargain. You actually get quite a bit more than you pay for.
