    Yes replace the tubes they look very contaminated. Also make sure the spindle isn't blocked up, blow air thru it.

    Connect one of the tubes to a submersible water pump inside a tank of water and return the other tube back to the tank.

    The last picture you showed on the previous post is the VFD ( Variable frequency Drive) this is what controls the spindle. It takes 220-240V 60hz single phase power and converts it to 3 phase variable frequency between 0hz and upto 600hz depending on the rating of the VFD and spindle. Probably 400hz. This gives you the abilty to control the speed of the Spindle.

    You can also control the VFD from the CNC controller and have the software turn on/off and set the speed. This does require other hardware called a spindle speed controller which outputs signals to the VFD.
    Your control box may or may not have this.? If you supply good quality pictures of inside then we may be able to see if you have one or not.?

    Very easy to do but the machine will need to be setup very accurately and the bed surface machined perfectly flat.

    Well the bed surface is an easy part, i usually tape glue a pvc board on the T-slots aluminium bed, and mill it in order to rectify the Zero plane.

    The part of "Setup the machine accurately" is the dark side for me. But i have to learn it.
