Just asking if anyone has any idea on this? ---

I’m willing to bet there working on it!! 😉 I asked the the same question early on. ---

I am guessing its going to be the one that @corbin uses - the Hiteco [QD-1F 4/12 24 I30](https://www.hiteco.net/en/products/electrospindles-a.t.c.c8190/powertech-210-series-4-kw.9514/qd-1f-4-12-24-i30.100148) ---

I hear Avid is working on it, but for now it is pretty easy to add a CNC Depot one; they have various HP options. I have the QD-1F, but I probably would have gone for a CNC Depot one if it was available when I got mine. I didn’t want a 3hp one (s30c); mine is around 5. ---

Thanks Corbin, I did reach out to cnc depot they told me they no longer offer the avid package and to contact avid because they are coming out with a atc machine. SO I will wait to see what they offer and go from there. Thanks again ---

From my recent discussions with avid they will be coming out by end of year with an atc spindle, and by middle of next year a tool rack solution that will retract and use the area at the end of the table to not reduce your work area or increase the footprint. ---

That’s interesting…I didn’t know CNC Depot stopped doing their options for Avid. You could still do it DIY, but it would take a lot of knowledge on how to wire the VFD and relays. I am working on a customization of Centroid’s CNC12 software for ATC support on the new Ex controllers. ---

CNC depot referred me to Gary Campbell at GCnC Control which is a centroid approved system builder. Gary seemed like a nice guy but I am waiting for every thing to settle down in the avid/atc/centroid space before I replace my circa 2010 Avid 2x3 machine. ---

@tperry retractable tool rack is incredible! I figured I would be extending my bed by a foot to not lose any more cutting area. ---

We just got our first look on avid’s IG story! I guessed wrong, looks like it won’t be the Hiteco. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/2X/a/a74b7674d57c695d435fd33d639e297d1594a94c.jpeg) ---

yup. looks suspiciously like the now “out of stock” cnc depot case but with an avid logo. Very exciting!!! ---

Yep,… connectors for the spindle and the air are in the same place, screws look to be the same, case seam looks the same… Makes sense as a partnership as well. ---

I can tell you that I have the spindle box and spindle from Gary! He was great from start to finish. We had many phone calls, emails, and texts. I am running the EX controller and servos with his box. After a few tweaks from him and some help from Corbin, things are running quite smoothly. ---
