Ok, thanks to all.
I've now ordered a Toshiba VFD from Italy (as per silyavski's recommendation in this thread - http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/router...-remotely.html), here's the one I went for....
INVERTER VETTORIALE TOSHIBA 0,75 kW 230 Volt MONOFASE USCITA MOTORE TRIFASE 1 HP | eBay (I'll never go larger than an 800W spindle, so this VFD ouight to fit my needs well)
In the meantime, my thoughts turn to the spindle wiring - I've already got an 800W spindle but there was no information supplied, with it - I'm figuring it's likely that these water cooled spindle all have common wiring, so can anyone please tell me what the 4 pins are...
I've seen reference on the net to 'U' 'V' & 'W' for the spindle pins...are these just arbitary abbreviations give to the three phases?Last edited by HankMcSpank; 02-10-2013 at 07:50 PM.

It's occured to me that you might not be sure which are UVW and which is not connected (or earth)? If so then just use a multimeter, set it to measure resistance and check the resistances between all 4 pins - you should find that 3 of them (UVW) are virtually identical, and one is open circuit.

I'm obviously having a bad (blonde?!) day.... that's my point, I have no idea which of the four pins on the spindle's connector socket are the actual spindle's power wires (that was the main thrust of the photo earlier ...if those sockets standardized, I'd hoped someone might enlighten me which 3 of the 4 are used)
