The present invention relates to a spindle unit which is able two work both in a low speed powerful roughing regime and medium and high speed precision semi-finishing and finishing. The spindle unit includes a body, a shaft placed into the body, journal bearings between the body and the shaft, and at least one journal-thrust ball bearing assembly placed between the body and the shaft. A hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder is used to move the shaft in an axial direction. The spindle unit further has a pad placed on at least one side of the hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. As a result of this construction, the spindle unit can work as a fully restricted spindle unit with and without additional ball bearing support.
