Introduction:

This is a 1.5 kilowatt Variable Frequency Drive (VFD or Inverter) that accepts 220v single or three phase. The inverter max frequency is 400Hz . The inverter comes with an instruction manual.

Description:

Note: connecting the inverter to mains power will require wiring of the plug to the inverter. We recommend seeking a licensed electrician for this part of the wiring.

[1.5 kW (kilowatt) Inverter (Variable Frequency Drive - VFD)] Im having a problem getting Mach 3 to control the spindle on and off

If you are using the Mach3 USB controller:

Make sure to watch this video:

If you are still having issues, make sure to confirm that you send the specific output you want to use to PORT 3. This is not mentioned in the video. If you are using OUT1 on the controller, make sure to remove that pin number from the Motor outputs (config -> ports & pins -> motor outputs) for the spindle line and set it up in the outputs (config -> ports & pins -> outputs).

Tramming the Router or Spindle (Making Sure it's Perpendicular to the Table)
Tramming the head (spindle or router) of a CNC router can be done with a simple old machinist trick using a long bar bent in a special way so that you can very accurately ensure the router or spindle is perpendicular to the bed (table) of the CNC machine.

Step 30: Router Mount Part 1
This tutorial is dated, if you are considering a CNC for your personal use, we would highly recommend purchasing a kit that is very stable from our wide range of machines available. The first of the videos for the router mount is finally edited and ready to post. The z-axis bearing supports were made in the current shape to be able to hold the router with a piece of stock in-between containing a hole for the router. This hole will need the ability to tighten against the router for stability and leveling. For my machine, I'm making one mount. This router mount will be positioned around the upper part of the router housing. Later, I will be installing a vacuum connection which will also serve as increased support for the router.
