Install the VFD on the back of the mill base, along with your braking

Pete, thanks... I like the idea of mounting controls there... I do,
however, want to see the screen of the VFD, it is very informative.


Here's what works for me...

Those older Mitsubishis are able to display 3 independent parameters,
so I wanted to keep them in view. The speed pot on the lathe is
mounted on the drive; the mill's is in the yellow pushbutton enclosure
along with the FWD-STOP-REV buttons.
