The vfd run start stop is controlled this way and works fine but I have wired the extractor in a similar way and it's not working as expected.
    Some people use the relay built into the vfd to switch the extractor on and off, you will need to program it for this operation by consulting the manual.
    You could use the Mist and Flood coolant outputs controlled by M7 and M8 in the G-code file. These are in the 'Ports & Pins / Spindle Setup' page of Mach3, you would then have to enable the corresponding output in 'Output Signals'.
    This is just a similar arrangement to M3 and the relay you set up for the spindle.
