I think the discrepancy here is probably due to how Chinese manufacturers often revise their products, but fail to update their manuals to reflect those revisions. Not only that, but their products often lack a means for identifying product versions. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten a chinese product that is in some way different than what is depicted in the manual that came with it.
I do know that the manual I provided the link to is the correct one for my friend's inverter. He has the hardcopy manual that came with the inverter, and it is the same.
You are both right and wrong about the settings I used. Yes, most of the parameters were set before I started messing with the machine. Yes, some of them are still set to the default values. But many of the parameters were changed from their defaults by Jcut. If a parameter didn't need to be changed, I left it as it was.
If you think the settings I'm using will fry the spindle motor, I would like to know which ones and why.
Not only did those settings not fry the spindle during the machine's 5+ years in service with the original control, they have not fried the spindle in the 22 hrs of runtime the spindle has seen since I completed the control change.
Like I said before, I have to assume the OEM knows better how to setup their machines than myself, but it IS chinese. There are other aspects of the machine that I know could be configured better. For instance, Jcut wires the E-stop inline with the power switch so that hitting E-stop cuts the power from the entire machine. I know that is the wrong way, and I changed it to operate the right way. But to me, it indicates that Jcut doesn't necessarily have everything set as it should be, and I shouldn't necessarily trust that they have things right anywhere on the machine.
But again, please let me know where you think Jcut is wrong in the parameters.
