I got bad news from the spindle repair shop. They gave me an estimated quote of 8-10k€,,, thats a little bit to much. I think I need do it on my own. 

Need to watch some Robin Renzetti videos to get in the mood to touch that thing

My plan is to replace the bearings on my own and than search for a service provider, that can regrind the taper on the machine. 

Thanks a lot for your replies.

The stahlwerk-plasmacutters look good.
 
I already have a THCAD10 that I use for my hypertherm powermax 1000g3, but the cut quality on the hyptherm is not the best because there is a thermal dynamics-torch mounted on the machine and it doesn't cut without an angle at 10mm steel (2mm bevel to the other side). I already changed most of the parts exept the starter cartrigde, and if I can't get it to work properly I need to buy another plasma-machine. 

So I could change the Plasmacutter and still use the THCAD-10 if I add series resistors.
Maybe you can explain which exact resistor(s) I need and how exactly the resistors should be added to the plasma-cutter ? I
Somewhere I read that the THCAD should not be placed inside the controller-box ? Is that right ? So where should I put the THCAD 10 and the resistors ? 

Thanks
