After years (about 7) using a router and SuperPID, I have just completed an upgrade (rebuild) of my CNC and decided it is time to switch to a spindle.
After reading a lot of posts and taking Mactek54's advice I ordered one with Pin4 grounded and ceramic bearings. This one in fact.

Now I'm trying to get ready to install it so am looking for guidance on a couple of things.
1. According to the chart at the bottom of this post, it looks like a 20 breaker would be enough. Is that correct or should I go with a 30 amp?
2. Is 18/4 shielded wire ok for connection from VFD to spindle. It would be about 25 feet in total.
3. I copied these settings from another post a while back - I think from a post by Mactec54 but not sure. Are these settings still good?
D000=0 for Parameter unlock ( 1 ) for Parameter Lock
PD001=0 (1 For Remote Control)
PD002=0 ( 1 For 0-10v Terminal Control or Remote Trim Pot Control )
( J1 Also Needs to be set for Terminal Control )
PD003=400
PD004=400
PD005=400
PD007=20
PD008=220 (Motor Rated Voltage, If you have 120v spindle then set to 120v )
PD009=15
PD010=8
PD011=120 ( 100 Minimum Setting with Quality VFD, 120 is Safe)
PD13= 08 is for Factory reset, Only use this to set VFD to Factory Default Settings
PD014 Acceleration=12 ( Adjust to suit)
PD015 Deceleration=12 (Adjust to suit)
( PD15 is ignored IF PD26=1 Then the Spindle will Coast to a Stop)
PD141=220 ( Motor Rated Voltage ) (120 for VFD Rated for 120v )
PD142= ( Motor Max Amps)
PD142=( 220vSet for your motor Amp Rating 2.2Kw Spindle 9 amp )
PD142=( 220VSet for your motor Amp Rating 1.5Kw Spindle 7 amp )
PD142=( 220v Set for your motor Amps Rating 800w Spindle 4 amps )
PD142=( 120v Set for your motor Amp Rating 800w Spindle 7 amp )
PD143=2 ( Motor Number of Poles)
PD144=3000 (Max Motor RPM) =3,000= (24,000)
PD70=0 ( This may need to be set to 1 if Control Voltage is 0-5v )
PD72=400
PD73=120 ( 100 Minimum Setting )
Anything I am missing?
Thanks for any input.
