Installing spindle
So I just purchased a kit to install a spindle on my buddy 32 standard. I installed the 24 volt box and on the other end of it's going to be the fan for the spindle and I've got the spindle mounted and square. But now I have the V1000 vfd and I don't know if it mounts to the machine or to the wall there's no instructions nor can I find any instructions on shopbot website and the ones that are there show super close up pictures and it doesn't really tell me where I need to mount it any advice would be helpful. Shopbot customer service has been better than expected they just go above and beyond and they've been great but I think I might need a little more than what they can give me one on one I'm not sure. I'll try to post a picture of the brackets and apparatus I have

Does the orange cable go in the echain with the other wires?

Yes. Orange wire goes on TOP of the gantry and thru echain.

okay since the orange wire is already wired up to the box on one end and has the attachment to hook to the spindle on the other I guess I'm going to have to unwire it to run it through correct?

Thanks Eric and Brady I can now see where the orange cord goes but any idea what the two big brackets are for? Are they supposed be used to hang the vfd with? I don't see those in Eric's picture

They appear to be brackets for the vfd. Call sb and ask where they go...

I'm guessing they're mounting brackets. I didn't get those when I upgraded to the spindle on mine. I fabricated a plywood mounting board for my VFD. http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/att...id=31771&stc=1
