    Ray I wouldn't put the Mill spindle and the Control box on the same fuse.? If the spindle bogs down and just happens to draw a bit more power when the steppers are working hard then the combination of control box and spindle could trip the fuse. Where's on there own fuse's the Mill spindle will handle the Bog and continue without affecting the control box.

    If you want true safety use a relay system to shut the other down. This way both protect each other in case of failure or power loss and the relay in control box will stop the spindle if it goes offline and vise versa the spindle relay will inform the Control box it's failed which will then stop things in a controlled manner turning off or killing power to other important attachments and halting Mach3.

    You can also control the spindle ON/OFF thru Mach3 and G-code in a similar way.
