    There is no other way to run it without a VFD, some photos of the spindle the diameter and the length can tell roughly what it is 1.5Kw or a 2.2 Kw, then you can get the right VFD for it, a simple check with a meter of the windings will tell you the health of the spindle, checking Pins 1-2 2-3 3-1 should read around 1.4 ohms

    High end spindles usually have a manuf, name or plate, if it is one of the ones that usually supplied with Huanyang VFD's these are usually unmarked, and you can see plenty of examples on ebay.
    How did you come by it, is it used?
