Howdy all, I’m finally to the point of buying my altmill and I’ve got a couple of questions..

1. if I want to mount my H100 vfd on the leg of the altmill like is commonly seen, do I need to purchase the vfd mount from the store, or does it come with one?

2. to verify, if I’m using a mini pc mounted to a touch screen on a monitor arm, I need to buy the monitor mount from the store, correct?

If I’m providing my own spindle purchased elsewhere, is there anything I need to add from the store to make it run? (Wiring etc)

Does anyone have suggestions for a dust shoe to throw on the spindle (80mm) if I’ve got 2.5” hose for negative air?

Thanks for any and all info!

You need to buy vfd mount from the store and you need to buy monitor mount from the store. I had to get both since i got longmill spindle while waiting for atc to ship. I also have my own touchscreen and mounted dell optiplex micro to it and mounted the monitor arm to the bracket i got from the store
