Ok I've got the VFD working
View media item 95698View media item 95699
Forward, Reverse, Speed control at the VFD. Still need to order the speed pot.
Now I just have to get the lathe controls working. The only thing that I really don't understand is the jog button. I'm going to rewire the contactors for momentary push. I think this will work the best as my forward and reverse is one leaver, and will hold down the switch until I "shift" the leaver out of the direction it's going and up into the next.
I uploaded a simple drawing of the wiring let me know if I'm even close. I haven't attempted to hook the control board up to the VFD yet as I'm still working on getting the contactors to behave as I would expect. Let me know what you think. I'll also try and get a picture of the forward/Reverse leaver switches to see if that explains what/if neutral should be.
