VFD CNC Spindle Motor Kits：220V 2.2KW CNC VFD+2.2KW 4bearings 400hz 0-24000rpm Φ80mm Water Cooled Spindle +75W Water Pump+80mm Motor Clamp Mount+5m Water Pipe

First, some negatives as others have mentioned...the water pump is worthless. It has a 110v cord on a 220v pump. Not the end of the world but annoying. This is just pure laziness. 1) They should have enough common sense to not advertise it with a water pump to US customers if they know 100% you are not getting a water pump. 2) No wrenches as others have stated. 3) Next to zero accurate documentation. There is a comment to not do the wiring unless you are a electrician. That is silly. Here is what I did. 1) I bought this power cord. " 20FT NEMA 6-15P/6-15R Power Extension Cord for 220/240V Air-Condition,...." ... here on amazon.. .2) I cut the end not going to the wall off 3) I bought the blue colored ring connectors from HDepot 4) I hooked black and white to any two of the power connectors (can't recall the letters UVW? easy to look up). I hooked the ground to the only ground on the VFD. 5) I purchased the wiring that went between the VFD and Spindle ready to go...premade from corvetteguy50 - easy to find for $230 shipping. In his video he will tell you how to hook up the wires...super simple. I put both grounds on the only ground screen on the VFD. Green from the 220 cord you purchased here on Amazon from above and one from green ring connector coming off the ground from wire purchased from corvetteguy. 6) I cut the original orange water pump line in half. 7) I put the original water pump screen in adapter onto the new water pump (its the right size..you will need this) 8) Connected the water lines (one going to Spindle from new pump and one going from spindle into water bucket). 9) I tested to make sure the water pump was flowing with no leaks. 10) I programmed the VFD as shown on most videos. I only programmed 2 codes I do believe - PD005 and PD004. 11). I turned it on. 12) Tested a cut...completely tore up the wood. 13) Spend 7 hours in the garage trying to figure out what was going on...went to bed unresolved. 14) Woke up and realized the spindle was sent programmed to spin the wrong direction. 15) Hit the REV button on the VFD...spindle spins correctly now and everything works great. I hope this helped someone. Figuring out how to do this...took much more time than actually doing anything. Was way easier than I thought it would be and I'm no electrician. Be careful and the above is not electrical advise...just telling you how I got this mystery thing to run. And I bought this water pump from Amazon ..."VIVOSUN 800GPH Submersible Pump(3000L/H, 24W)" - Keep the hose to pump adapter from the old pump...you will need it. And that's it. I was out the door for about $650 or so but way better than the $3500 my CNC company wanted for a 1.7KW HSD Spindle and VFD. Besides, if one part goes bad on this unit....you now know how to fix it.

I have been using this spindle for my CNC router for 6 months now and it has performed flawlessly. I even checked the spindle runout and detected none. I was able to set it up to work with my Linux CNC program so that I never need to touch the VFD controller. On, off and speed are controlled by the G code. I do have some minor complaints and some suggestions: If you live in the US and know your way around 220 single phase you will be fine. If not, you will absolutely need a qualified electrician. Don't even think about it if you do not know what you are doing. I also ordered a cheap set of collets from another source. YaeKo I think. If you care about accuracy dont do that. I pay about $20 each now for Amana ER20 collets and they are worth the money. Complaints: No spindle wrenches. Not enough tubing. Barely adequate documentation. Suggestions: Offer a 110v pump for US customers. It's partly for this reason that you will need to have an electrician. I happen to be one so it was easy for me. I cut the plug off the pump cord and wired it to the same switch I use for the VFD. Have an option for more water tubing and a flow indicator. Also make a recommendation on the water supply. I use a large plastic storage bin under my CNC table. I mixed in a fair amount of automotive antifreeze to prevent corrosion and to lube the pump. I don't know if I did the right thing because there are no recommendations in the doc's. Finally, provide better documentation. Especially for those wanting to control the spindle from their CNC software. Many users are DIYers that use Linux or Mach 3. It would be great to have specific instructions for these 2 programs. It baffles me why Chinese companies that make very good products like this one, offer such poorly translated documentation. For many American and European DIY'rs, this is a major deterrent. Seeing "excellent documentation" in the comments would easily return your investment on having it done better.

Everything works great. Changing the different parameters was easy enough as most of them are correct from the factory. I setup communication through RS485 and haven't had any issues. The included water pump feels extremely cheap and doesn't include enough tubing or the correct fittings to attach the tubing to the pump. Would have been better if the kit just skipped the water pump altogether honestly.

It’s not amazon fault. Amazon is great people to work with. They did helped out. But they didn’t have to. It’s the manufacturer where the product is made that screwed me over. Anyway. Be carefull with the connector that comes with it. Yes it’s suppose to be keyed to only plug in a certain way or rotation. Well the one I got was able to plug in at to different rotation. Which cause it to short out everything. Smoked up the VFD unit, my brand new laptop, and possibly my controller for the cnc router table. Since the usb plugged was plugged into my laptop coming from the controller. I will hopefully find out if my controller got fried when I get my new VFD, water cool spindle kit that I have ordered to replace this one. So be carefull when you plug the connector into the spindle. And they fully admit after me showing them a video of it. That indeed the connector is faulty. But yet they won’t help cover for my new laptop and openbuild blackbox controller that got fried cause of this faulty connector. They only wanted to offer about $ 150 to cover for my lost ( laptop and blackbox ). The combined cost of both of these items were little over $1300. Really they only want to offer $150. I would not buy from them again. Hope each and everyone of you don’t buy from them as well.

Exactly as described, arrived quick, and works perfectly. Using on a home made CNC.

Works excellent, good quality VFD and spindle

Where should I start... EMI (electromagnetic interference) was a big issue since the beginning. After months of investigation a ton of $ in anti-EMI device, it's less bad, but it still stops communication between the controller and the CNC... After one year of non-intensive use, the spindle started to do free games... I even had to reduce my dept of cut for my spindle to handle super conservative parameters... The seller was not helpful, his advice made no sense, communications were poor, and he even wanted me to send my email to a non-secured weird email… Since the warranty was only 6 months, and my purchase was done last year, he never refunded. He offered a small discount on a new one…. Never replied after my last communication…

Spindle works well. No collet wrenches are provided. Manufacturer communication is lacking, the VFD is supposed to be capable of supplying 240V so the coolant pump will come on with the spindle but only connection for 1 wire is shown in manual. Customer support could not understand and replied 2 times with unrelated answers. Coolant line is less than 1/2 of what is needed on most CNC machines and very hard to find the same product. Even with these shortcomings I would buy again.

Great price
