just a wild guess, but you say the auto tool holder is reversed,
is it possible there is an internal interlock that disables the
spindle motor while it thinks the tool clamp is open?

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
