Re: OX Build of Sorts

OX Build of Sorts

Re: Spindle Delay <answered>
I went to the link and download the wiring diagrams you mentioned but most files failed to open. Of the one that I could open I did not learn much from the diagram. I will just turn on the VFD from a switch.

Re: Spindle Delay <answered>
I was just reviewing your post again. Are you saying that if I hook up my VFD power through the relay 1 or 2, I can remove the spool up delay programmed in the VFD? It was my assumption that the delay was to reduce the wear on the spindle.
