Note the venting and the very small control buttons.

Most (virtually all) VFDs will take a remote rotary control
(potentiometer, or just possibly rotary encoder for some models) for the
speed control. Program in the range it is to control, and spin the dial.

Focus first on wiring in remote emergency stop switches wherever you
might want one when things go wrong, (both ends of the lathe, at least)
and then put on a rotary remote for the speed.

I realise that but I had been hoping for one less thing to think about.
A friend had his system rewired by a retired electrical engineer for the
price of a bottle of scotch - and I have a bottle of Glenfiddich looking
for a home:-)
