Has anybody added a VFD and spindle to a Techno Isel LC4896 that was originally set up with the porter-cable router?
Here's my situation:
The old 120v router is only controlled by a simple relay. The new VFD requires 220v and I don't think I can just kill the power to the drive like I do to the old router.
I have the small PCI card with the standard control box. I know that the controller card does not have a riser card attached to it. I think my only option is running an on/off switch though the relay on the servo drive box. I hope the VFD that I ordered has something like that.
I ordered the VFD and spindle from:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=160306236695

I have pictures of the Techno servo control box that is mounted on the router itself if anybody needs it.
The last thought is- How am I going to power a small pump to cool the spindle?
