Spindle, VFD and sensor recommendation

Thanks for the info. After further consideration and research, it seems WC may be better suited as I'l be running the spindel for hours a day and I'm looking at this VFD / Spindle combination from th HY store on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/9050...c008xEitI&mp=1

It seems it is going to be a learning curve to programme the VFD and to get it set-up and tuned properly.

As for the comment re: the enclosure - I intend to run dust extraction unit continuously to keep a clean working are and prevent buuild-up of chips which can melt and cause issues. I'll turn my attentoin to the enclosure at a later stage, but I am considering the airflow and sound dampening as well.

Without confirming the exact model number, that looks to be the exact unit I bought. There isn't a cheaper supplier here in Australia but that may not be the case for you in the UK.
