I’m currently in the process of cleaning up a Tree 2URV-C Milling Machine that I found locally. The previous owner “hung” a VFD in the old control box, and wired in both Spindle & Table motors. I’ve since picked up a smaller VFD to match the table motor. Ideally, I’d like to power both VFDs off the same single phase 30a circuit, with some form of on/off (power disconnect) so I can leave it plugged in at the wall. I’m trying to educate myself, but would appreciate if anyone has suggestions on wiring layout, control mounting, and protection/coverage. I could build bases for the power switch & smaller VFD, that would put the faces the same, and I could build a cover to fit the original enclosure. Other ideas?

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

no problems... just challenges
There's a couple eleck-chickuns on the forum, or at least, very knowledgeable fellows on this.
There's a few things you will need to know before you start pulling wire.
Amp draw of each motor, distance to your breaker panel and so forth.
I know enough about magic smoke to know to respect it with high regard lol
If you're not confident or unsure...seek a professional
Your insurance broker will love you for it
