to make this work i need to connect the probe input to ground via my tool, I presume it is OK to connect the BOB 0v line to machine chassis in order to make this work with only one probe wire??
Yes can do it that way thou need to be careful and check the probe by touching tool every time just in case tool doesn't conduct very well ie: coated etc.
IT's good habbit to get into.

Do we use coast-to-stop or ramp-to-stop??
Little bit of DC braking won't hurt but not too much else trip VFD with large tools.

What sort of spin-up setting is good in the VFD?
I presume this also goes in Mach3 Spindle delays?
I have mine set to 2 or 3 secs and spindle delay set to 2. Again if spindle startup too fast you'll get vfd throwing up error codes.
Mach delay needs to be about the same delay.
