Part 2: I finally decided to upgrade to a more powerful VFD Spindle on my desktop CNC to get better performance based on viewer comments - thanks. Part 1 covered most of the prep work. Now I'll assemble, program, bench test, wire to CNC machine and install the new spindle. Of course a few other needs came up that must be addressed while I'm at it. I show you all the necessary Parameters on CNC, VFD, and CAM Program to make a new VFD Spindle work. Spoiler alert, this was a VERY successful upgrade!
