Replaced the spindle with a router (Kress). My old drive and spindle went to a mate, both his drive and spindle burn't out very soon after he started using his 6040. He had no problems with my stuff. Seems its just hit and miss with these Chinese drives and spindles
The biggest problem is not having the parameter's set correct, this is what does the damage, if the VFD Drive can't balance the Volts to Hz ratio then it is instant over heat
