If you want to just get started, I would recommend reversing the
hi/lo as Andy recommended, and consider toggling the spindle
manually. I know it isn't ideal, but a lot of good parts have been
made without machine control of the spindle.

Sounds like you
need to reverse the “Active Hi/Active Lo” setting for the
Auto tool spindle release. That should stop it from acting
backwards.

How is the VFD
supposed to be controlled by Mach3? Is it using relays, PWM,
or step/dir?

Hi,
? ?I bought a used cnc and can't get the spindle to turn on.?
It's a Boss cnc router 10hp spindle.? It has mach3 installed
on it but no other info.? I've watched a lot of tutorials and
changed some of the inputs and outputs etc trying to get it to
run.? I can manually move x y z.? I can run g code.? But no
spindle.? The fan on top of the spindle is working.? ? I can
turn the spindle on directly at the vfd, which is a V1000.?
The machine is 3 phase running off a 30 hp converter.? The
auto tool spindle release and clamp are acting in reverse,
clamp drops the bit, release holds the bit.??
? ? The drill block does turn on and off manually, the drill
block is turning the correct direction.? Since the drill block
and spindle turn the correct? direction I dont think the 3
phase power is the issue.
? Any help would be greatly appreciated.? Thank you
