    I can confirm that connecting these two and starting the toolpath does bring the spindle to life, disconnecting the two while the spindle is running stops it, and simply pressing the spindle off via mach3 slows it(but doesn't stop it fully) to about 70rpm.
    I know this is a very big bump, but I've just put it to the back of my mind for the best part of 3 years (where does the time go!)
    So I'm still to this day happily using the router(an hour or so a month) with FOR and DCM connected. Everything works fine *touch routed wood *, so I never altered the vfd settings, and just stuck with the change to the wiring.. but can I ask if this solution has any downsides?! Should have probably asked this in 2017.
