Spindles are the business end of the router. They provide the rotational torque that does the work of cutting.

Major brands

Colombo, HSD, Kress, and Porter-Cable. We use primarily Colombo and HSD spindles. Kress and Porter-Cable spindles are smaller, basically souped-up Dremels.

Pictures of the common spindles

Replacement

Important factors for replacing a spindle are: HP, Voltage, Amperage, and RPMs found on the nameplate (see fig 2). As there may be multiple specs on a nameplate, a PICTURE is usually the best way to determine the right motor.

Collets

Collet nuts clamp down on the collet, which holds the tool.
