make sure to follow instructions. There is a one page there "getting
started" that tells you how to get your motor running, maybe not in
the most convenient way but you would see that the drive works.

Up and running. Now I need to build a mount for it.

Cool!

Yep, and quieter than the rotary phase converter.


Will you make a little housing for a pot and a FWD-OFF-REV switch?

I doubt it, the front panel controls seem fine. Easy to enter the
frequency you want or use the up/down arrows to adjust it.


Post some pix...

Eventually. I'm off Fri-Mon diving in Cozumel, so I won't get to it
until next week.


Also keep in mind, these drives that I sold to you, have dynamic
braking, this is nice for machines like lathes and mills. Highly
recommended to take advantage. Like a stop programmed in 1 second.

Yep, I noticed it seems to be set about there now. No more using the
spindle brake to stop it for a cutter change.

The wonders of technology...
