A spindle is a type of rotating machine component, usually found in a lathe or milling machine, that holds the workpiece in place and rotates it.

There are several types of spindles, including live spindles, dead spindles, indexing spindles, and continuous spindles.

The type of spindle you need will depend on the type of work you are doing. Consider the size and weight of the workpiece, the speed and accuracy required, and the available space.

Using a spindle offers many benefits, such as increased precision and accuracy, faster production times, and improved surface finishes.
