Making my control cabinet - what switching controls should I have?

Is your spindle vfd driven?

Yes, a Sunfar E300 - apparently according to the manual I can configure one of the external inputs to be a stop control, so I'll use that for E-stop. Whether I need to be able to isolate its power when changing tools is another question of course.

Nice....are you going to have the drive inside the same enclosure?

Probably not - I have a pretty nice 19" rack cabinet lying around which needs using (saves shelling out £60 on a new box ), and I don't think there's quite enough room in it for the drive - though I will see if I can shoehorn it in!

Sounds good:)
