Introduction
This section covers mounting the variable frequency display (VFD) and spindle.
If attaching a router instead of a spindle, refer to Installing and Removing Router document. This doc-
ument was provided with the tool, and can also be accessed at http://www.shopbottools.com/Shop-

If attaching Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), refer to ATC Installation Manual. This document was pro-

VFD Installation
ShopBot Tools with spindles use a VFD to regulate input power and control rotation speed. There are
two major body sizes, 10” and 16”, which are used depending on specic voltage and phases require-
ments. The supplied bracket will work for each size.
