Did you get new pulleys or use the existing ones?

"I did not order a "spindle" servo I just wanted to set up the controls and was hoping to use one of the axis motors"

Please clarify this statement....

Like I have said here, in my thread and in PM - these motors bolted up to my mill without modification. Including using the existing pulleys. I measured the salient points on the original servos and found them to be NEMA 42 sized motors.

Which DMM servos did you order?

My goal is to set up the relays that will control FWD/REV of the spindle should just leave it at that.Using the DMM axis motor doesn't really get me anything.

Got a note back from DMM showing how to do what I was asking,as far as running the motor as a "spindle". I can post the schematic if needed.

I spoke with DMM about the machine and came to the conclusion that the 0.75kW would work well. We never talked about the NEMA42 motors as they were way beyond what I needed. I was assured that if the motors do not work as expected, after installation, I could return them. I must admit that I started second guessing my decision, so I called again and still feel the motors will be fine.
86N-DHT-A6MK1 - motor
DYN4-H01A2-00 - drive

750W is one HP and should work well. They also have 750W Nema 34s.

Might be worth the effort to see if the 1.3kW NEMA 42 motor would bolt in place of the servos you have now..

My machine has toggle type limit switches on X and Y axes - they have 2 NC contacts and COM -3 wires. The Z axis has a 3 wire proximity switch - can I wire that to a same input? Currently I am only using the Home detect for X and Y - 2 wires
I would prefer to to use the HomeAll command so is there a way to get them onto the same input?
I can't see any specific info on the proximity switch but it has 3 wires brown black and blue. It senses at both ends of the range (Home/Limit)
I tried to test the proximity sensor by putting the Z axis both at the limit and in the center while probing the contacts, expecting to get conductivity. No luck, am I doing it right?
EDIT looks like I need to power the sensor, but the same question applies about using one input

Make/model of sensor, data sheet?
