Hi all, I'm just about to start another Wadkin Lathe and wanted some electrickery advice. I put a vfd in the last one I did and want to improve its useability on this next one. The cheap vfd I got had a 2m extension which enabled me to fit it nicely into the control box door. On this one I thought it would be good to have the control pad on a little box that could be move along the bed or near outboard turning. The extension ribbon looks quite fragile so I wondered if I could remove the ribbon and replace it with some nice flexible 8core or something. Doe that make sense?
Also is it possible to also use the existing momentary on/off buttons
