Safe spindle lock for sieg X2 mini mills
The self retracting Safety Spindle Lock from Phenom Engineering, LLC is a spindle lock specifically designed for the Sieg X2 milling machines. The spindle lock is spring loaded to immediately pop out of the spindle when you release pressure on it. This helps to keep you from starting the motor with the spindle lock still inserted, thereby saving your gear train. It is made from US sourced aluminum and is made in the US. It will come with a mild satin finish (refer to pictures). The lock comes assembled and includes mounting hardware
Installation of the lock is very easy; simply remove the Z-axis fine feed cover, drill two #10 holes matching the spindle lock, bolt the lock to the cover and reinstall the cover.
Unlike similar products, our spindle lock does not require you to remove the motor mount to install it or use a power drill to run a couple of holes into your motor mount. This also means that any mistakes are easily fixable; just buy another cheap ($1.25 - $3.50) cover. No need to worry about breaking a tap in your motor mount and having to replace it.
The lock should fill all Sieg X2 derived mini mills: Harbor Freight, Grizzly, Cummins, Homier, etc.
