Maybe this has been asked before but, can the spindle speeds be controlled with the software (Aspire) on an Desktop Max?

Yes, you set the speed for each toolpath in Aspire and that is sent to the CNC.

I don't believe the 110v spindles can be controlled via software

Thinking real hard about buying a Desktop Max so I'm just trying to gather as much info as possible before making the big leap. Maybe I should ask Shopbot tech support.

Good idea to talk to Tech or Sales Steve.
A friend with one of the first Max's had to manually adjust with the VFD like I do with my regular Desktop.
They MAY have changed since then?

I contacted tech support via email and this was their response.
Original Question:
Can the spindle speeds be controlled with the software (Aspire) on an Desktop Max?
Response:
"No, the spindle speeds on all Desktop models are controlled by a dial on the VFD."
