220V 2.2kw VFD ER20 Spindle Package Kit for CNC Router

First, some negatives as others have mentioned...the water pump is worthless. It has a 110v cord on a 220v pump. Not the end of the world but annoying. This is just pure laziness. 1) They should have enough common sense to not advertise it with a water pump to US customers if they know 100% you are not getting a water pump. 2) No wrenches as others have stated. 3) Next to zero accurate documentation. There is a comment to not do the wiring unless you are a electrician. That is silly. Here is what I did. 1) I bought this power cord. " 20FT NEMA 6-15P/6-15R Power Extension Cord for 220/240V Air-Condition,...." ... here on amazon.. .2) I cut the end not going to the wall off 3) I bought the blue colored ring connectors from HDepot 4) I hooked black and white to any two of the power connectors (can't recall the letters UVW? easy to look up). I hooked the ground to the only ground on the VFD. 5) I purchased the wiring that went between the VFD and Spindle ready to go...premade from corvetteguy50 - easy to find for $230 shipping. In his video he will tell you how to hook up the wires...super simple. I put both grounds on the only ground screen on the VFD. Green from the 220 cord you purchased here on Amazon from above and one from green ring connector coming off the ground from wire purchased from corvetteguy. 6) I cut the original orange water pump line in half. 7) I put the original water pump screen in adapter onto the new water pump (its the right size..you will need this) 8) Connected the water lines (one going to Spindle from new pump and one going from spindle into water bucket). 9) I tested to make sure the water pump was flowing with no leaks. 10) I programmed the VFD as shown on most videos. I only programmed 2 codes I do believe - PD005 and PD004. 11). I turned it on. 12) Tested a cut...completely tore up the wood. 13) Spend 7 hours in the garage trying to figure out what was going on...went to bed unresolved. 14) Woke up and realized the spindle was sent programmed to spin the wrong direction. 15) Hit the REV button on the VFD...spindle spins correctly now and everything works great. I hope this helped someone. Figuring out how to do this...took much more time than actually doing anything. Was way easier than I thought it would be and I'm no electrician. Be careful and the above is not electrical advise...just telling you how I got this mystery thing to run. And I bought this water pump from Amazon ..."VIVOSUN 800GPH Submersible Pump(3000L/H, 24W)" - Keep the hose to pump adapter from the old pump...you will need it. And that's it. I was out the door for about $650 or so but way better than the $3500 my CNC company wanted for a 1.7KW HSD Spindle and VFD. Besides, if one part goes bad on this unit....you now know how to fix it.

This is a great spindle and VFD. I knew nothing about either before purchasing this kit. I got it for my Shapeoko 3 XXL. The long and the short is that it works beautifully. Super quiet, very powerful. It’s the quietest tool in my woodshop. The manual is comprehensive. There are lots of videos online to help with setup. I ditched the pump that came with it and am using a 2.3gpm solar pump that I bought here on amazon for 20 bucks. I have the coooong on a closed system with 50/50 antifreeze/water. I’ve ran the spindle for 2 hours straight and the temperate did not increase. The spindle and coolant were room temperature. That is very promising. This is a great deal and I can not do stuff with my CNC that the expensive machines can do without the hefty price tag.

I have been using this spindle for my CNC router for 6 months now and it has performed flawlessly. I even checked the spindle runout and detected none. I was able to set it up to work with my Linux CNC program so that I never need to touch the VFD controller. On, off and speed are controlled by the G code. I do have some minor complaints and some suggestions: If you live in the US and know your way around 220 single phase you will be fine. If not, you will absolutely need a qualified electrician. Don't even think about it if you do not know what you are doing. I also ordered a cheap set of collets from another source. YaeKo I think. If you care about accuracy dont do that. I pay about $20 each now for Amana ER20 collets and they are worth the money. Complaints: No spindle wrenches. Not enough tubing. Barely adequate documentation. Suggestions: Offer a 110v pump for US customers. It's partly for this reason that you will need to have an electrician. I happen to be one so it was easy for me. I cut the plug off the pump cord and wired it to the same switch I use for the VFD. Have an option for more water tubing and a flow indicator. Also make a recommendation on the water supply. I use a large plastic storage bin under my CNC table. I mixed in a fair amount of automotive antifreeze to prevent corrosion and to lube the pump. I don't know if I did the right thing because there are no recommendations in the doc's. Finally, provide better documentation. Especially for those wanting to control the spindle from their CNC software. Many users are DIYers that use Linux or Mach 3. It would be great to have specific instructions for these 2 programs. It baffles me why Chinese companies that make very good products like this one, offer such poorly translated documentation. For many American and European DIY'rs, this is a major deterrent. Seeing "excellent documentation" in the comments would easily return your investment on having it done better.

The bad first. The water pump didn't work but it's not why would buy this. Just plan on buying a good quality pond pump. Otherwise it has been great. I've done several 24 hour plus cuts without a hiccup. The VFD is tied into my CNC controller so the G code commands it to start, sets the speed, and to turn off once it's done. After 24 hours the spindle is warm to the touch but not hot. It has lots of power. I use a CMT 2 3/8" surfacing bit set to 8000 rpm. It handles it without an issue. I've even used a 3" half round bit. ust add ferrite beads on the power cable for the spindle.

Lower bearing failure with low run time. I emailed service about parts and they sent a link to purchase another spindle. 🤦🏻‍♂️

VFD quit after 3-5 hours. Let's see if they replace within the 1-year warranty spindle is quiet and works well but vfd is kind of cheap looking and puts out more noise than the spindle HY HUANYANG never got back to me but Amazon did and Amazon made it right HY HUANYANG

Everything has gone smoothly, from unboxing through to setup and use. I had a couple things that I wasn't sure about, but quickly resolved them. The printed manual provided a lot of detail. It could be improved a little for the DIY CNC customer if it contained some more tutorial information for someone who is using a spindle like this for the first time after using only a woodworking router previously. The build quality is good. I didn't use the 240V water pump. I only wanted to wire a single 240V outlet, not a second one for the water pump. The supplied water hose has metric dimensions. Getting it to work with 1/4" hose barb was slightly challenging. I ended up warming the end of the hose in a cup of hot water to stretch it a little and get it to fit, worked fine. Getting this spindle from Huanyang gave me some confidence in ordering, since it would enable me to use online resources for help. That was borne out for me. I've seen other spindles, but not sure that they'd work the same in all details, especially as regards the VFD, so was pleased to find Huanyang offering the spindle themselves.

Overall nice product. A few items to note... The pump is 240V with a 120V plug on it! So plan of changing the plug and don't be bummed when it will not work at all when you plug it into a 120v outlet. The VFD has no way to legally be wired in the US unless you have it entirely in an enclosure. This is do to how the cabling is routed in and out. Not expecting this to be a problem for most but keep it in mind if you are planning on using this in a setting other than your basement (school, group area) it is a no go per NEC requirements. You should also use shielded cable to the spindle from the VFD. (Google it) The water line that is included is going to be too short for 4x4' tables. But suprisangaly the pump will push water through a longer hose. I would get it again. After all a good quality VFD costs more than this entire setup!

Works excellent, good quality VFD and spindle

Great price

Spindle works well. No collet wrenches are provided. Manufacturer communication is lacking, the VFD is supposed to be capable of supplying 240V so the coolant pump will come on with the spindle but only connection for 1 wire is shown in manual. Customer support could not understand and replied 2 times with unrelated answers. Coolant line is less than 1/2 of what is needed on most CNC machines and very hard to find the same product. Even with these shortcomings I would buy again.
