I can confirm this is still an issue. The spindle display says 300Hz until a job is started, then it locks onto 50hz and won’t exceed. I tried troubleshooting a little bit but with no luck

Thanks @gordoa40. Red tagged until we figure it out.

I initially reported this. I tried to debug and couldn’t figure it out. I’m very interested in the solution/ debugging process.

@jamesfreeman figured out the issue and I was able to use it successfully. Red tag can be removed.

What was the problem?

I believe the back up software we recently loaded had the preset spindle speeds settings. I think this caused the VFD to default to the low settings. We removed the wires from the VFD and it went back to normal.
