OK, so I've purchased a CNC PRO 4848, there NEMA 23 plug and play controller and am setting back while the boxes of parts collect.
Unless some thing drastic changes I plan on getting this spindle and possibly 2.2 KW VFD... So one question that comes to mind is this, any reason to have the VFD sized to handle a larger watt rated motor? Or is it pretty much the standard that you go with a matched spindle /VFD and call it good?
Another question, this is my first CNC router and I see that Mach3 can control spindle speed in the software ( if I understand what I'm looking at right now ) via the VFD. Is the VFD connected to directly the PC or to the PC via the controller?
From reading on the net I also understand that the Hitachi brand of VFD is an ideal brand to go with. Better than the KL-VFD03?
Thanks for any input..
