A word of caution, particularly buying a spindle separately to a VFD, you will likely need to configure the VFD for the spindle - that's the next hurdle. I could suggest contacting the spindle supplier to ask if they have a suitable ready-configured VFD that is affordable.

Just a thought.
Hi Doddy
Just seen this ,,,bugger .never mind onwards and upwards.
Here is a few photos of the VFD that i purchased today , I bought this one as i didn't want to go and spend a load of money on a real good one yet as i would like to see if this set up works first and if it is viable .
The wire for the spindle was marked from 1 to 4 to start with so i soldered Wire 1 to pin 1 . Wire 2 to pin 2 and so on ( this was on the socket for the spindle.
And using my tester on the connectivity setting i tested each wire and connected them as follows

I connected the No 1 wire to the V
No 2 wire to the W
No 3 wire to the U

Then i pressed run and turned up the speed and at H 16 an error message came up.
any ideas please
