I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I just unhooked the spindle output from the vfd thinking maybe that would address a possible electrical interference issue and it made no difference. Once I click the manual off on the spindle while it continues to run a cycle everything works as normal

That won’t work, the noise isn’t coming from the actual spindle itself, it’s the VFD generating the EMI/RFI. Your error report has ethernet communication errors. Thanks for uploading the report.

See this doc on tips to fix the issue:

If your machine lacks shielded cable where necessary (and that shield is not ground properly) or that machine does not have a common ground bus bar it’ll be more tricky to solve this issue and only add to your problems.

I don't know if any wire is shielded on the entire machine. I will get started tonight I'm checking things out. The ethernet issue may be from me powering down my computer or rebooting it
