Those packages with "glib" in their name are not glib, they use glib. You would have found it if you did "grep glib2" rather then "grep glib-dev" glib is the standard C library. It seems unlikely that glib is not installed. More likely you have a problem with the "include path" Try somethin

I've used the 2.2 KW water cooled Chinese spindle with good success for a few years.  As Danny mentioned, the power at low RPM isn't very good.  The largest cutter I use for machining is 1/4" and it's usually 1/8" or less, but I do use a 1.125" mortising bit to level the spoil board and it seems to

Have used a cheap Chinese air cooled 18krpm 3kw spindle for years.  You must drive them off a VFD anyways. At 3000 rpm you have much less power.  Well the torque is probably the same but power=torque * rpm. The air cooled is cooled by a shaft-driven impeller, so fan rpm drops to 3000 rpm too

Greetings everyone, I wish to upgrade a dressing spindle in our EMC grinder.  We currently have a very small DC motor turning a one-inch diamond-studded disc at about 1500 RPM, with fairly decent results, but my research indicates we may be better served with a much larger disc and higher RPM.
