    flashcut and chinese spindle/VFD

    I have one of those amazon chinese spindle/VFD combos 2.2Kw and was wondering what is needed to control on and off as well as spindle speed within flashcut CNC? I have the 2.5a micro cnc controller

    I want to know about this as well. I recently purchased a 7.5kW VFD to have three phase power at home and run the spindle. Would be nice to run the spindle through the software.

    Or, nobody using Flashcut has seen this....
    Not sure if there are many Flashcut users here. I don't here it mentioned very often.

    This is an old thread but for those that don't know a VFD Drive can only be used for a AC 3 Phase motor

    Is your intension to just run the spindle as your VFD can not give you 3Phase power to run anything else, it can only be used to run a AC 3 Phase motor 7.5Kw is also to big for any normal Home Power service
