Here is the one I bought for that spindle. Go for the 2.2k incase you want to upgrade later [Amazon.com: VFD 220V 2.2KW 3hp Variable Frequency Drive CNC VFD Motor Drive Inverter Converter for Spindle Motor Speed Control HUANYANG HY-Series(2.2KW, 220V): Home Improvement](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0775S7KFW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?tag=benmyers-20) ---

Scott, I was wondering if it was ok to buy a vfd for a 3hp motor and run a 2hp for awhile until I’m ready for a motor upgrade and a 80 mm mount .Scott are you able to control your motor using the1F controller? ---

No problem running a larger VFD than your spindle. Just set the max amps to match your spindle, and you’ll be fine. It’s one of the 100+ settings available to you… ---
