Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] VFD problems with my Bridgeport CNC..

Don't try to run the whole machine from the VFD, unless you can keep it's
output at the B'Port's 'Rated' voltage. If your BOSS 3 has a variable speed
spindle, use it, else use the VFD on the spindle only, and get a 'Rotary'
for the rest of the machine.

it is not wise to try and power the entire machine with it???

(I could hear only the fans run in the Boss 3 case) and the Hz LED should
on average of 13Hz until I turned the High/Low range knob and got an error
on the VFD.
