Product Comparison: 60C Spindle vs HSD AT/MT 1073
This Spindle Showdown will compare our High Speed 60C Spindle vs HSD AT/MT 1073.
The HSD AT/MT 1073 is a very common type of spindle in a lot of machine shops. It’s an entry-level style of spindle for table machines. This model runs at 24k RPM, has 3kW of power, and a 2-pole motor. It is fan-cooled with a shaft-driven fan, so it can get very loud. It has an aluminum body, harting connector, and weighs over 17 pounds. If you wanted to cut at higher speeds, you’re limited to only 24k RPM.
If you’re looking for an upgrade/replacement, we recommend our 60C. It’s half the weight of the HSD 1073 and is almost equal in power. It’s a 4-pole motor, so it has about double the torque of the HSD. It cuts twice as fast, smoother, and with high precision. As you cut, the dimensions will stay stable because of the liquid cooling. It will also last longer.
In the end, the 60C Spindle vs HSD AT/MT 1073 showdown highlights the strengths of both options, helping buyers choose the best spindle for their needs.
We can customize your upgrade to ensure exact compatibility. The voltage, Harting connector, and collet dimensions will be fit to your needs.
