    I used a different speed control board from them. Not built in. I worked, but with my motor controller for my treadmill motor, I kept getting some loping in the motor either at high speed or low speed depending on the Mach settings.

    I wound up using the smaller controller from Homann Designs.

    They work very well. Very small too. I use them on my lathe and my mill.

    The part you mentioned though looks like a good option. Nice to have all that onboard.

    Be very careful with a BOB integrated speed control. If you connect it wrong or do not isolate with separate power supply, you can blow the whole BOB.

    What machine are you going to use this on?

    Hi George

    The C11 Board looks good, thats the board I will look to buy when I upgrade to a HF spindle, at the moment I use the C10 board which I have had no problems with at all.

    I have a brand-new, never been used C11. I ended up going with a Gecko G540 and don't need a separate bob. If you are interested send me a pm. Since it's never been used, I'd like to get about $115 plus shipping, but make me an offer...
