All I can say is WOW! Mark. This is over the top. Thank you.
I do want to keep the mechanical brake which sounds like is possible. Without having the machine yet and the fact that this is a new yet to be seen machine, would it still be possible for me to collect all (or at least most) of the parts ahead of time? You mention you have parts lists.
On my CNC mill I have two e-stops, a master e-stop that kills all power to the machine and an e-stop that just stops the controller if the machine does something unexpected. The master e-stop was setup as an "Oh crap the machines on fire" safety. This is probably not necessary for a manual machine so the rotary switch sounds like the better idea.
Assuming this machine has a jog button, does this feature only jog in one direction or can it be set to jog in either direction?
To keep things simple(er) I will order a Hitachi WJ200-022SF VFD.
Thanks,
Jay
