I would like to put a switch between my fusebox and
HSD 4Hp spindle.I have a PRS Standard,so my spindle does not run into the control box.I thought a switch
would make it easier to turn on the spindle. Any suggestions on with switch to use?

Thanks

The VFD already functions as the start/stop button. Read the book that came with it and make sure it is setup for panel/front button control.

Thanks Brady

I guess what I was interested in was some emergency shut off switch.With a PRS standard, the E-Stop button would only
stop the Bot, not the spindle,is that true?

That's true. You need the large contactors to switch the current like are in the Alpha boxes. A regular old switch will most likely not be adequate & would present more of a safety/fire hazzard than the one you are trying to solve...
