Great. Pete, there is nothing that you can possibly do to break these

motor off by using your reversing switch on the mill, while the drive
is running. So keep this in mind. I am sure you knew, but I wanted to
say anyway.
The quietness factor alone is worth $120. So your speed adjustments,
and dynamic braking, are freebies.

The existing drum switch will be removed, so no chance of switching
under power. I may mount the whole VFD up in that position since it's
not very heavy. Less fab work than a swing arm. Dunno, I'll see what
makes the most sense.
STOP! Use the drum switch to control fwd/stop/rev
