for your VFD? For me, a VFD is [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive). Did you really mean “VFD”?

Thank you for blogging about your CNC projects! It’s always a pleasure to see the details of such a project and with good photos.

The only thing that is a bit surprising is that you did not make the drag chain wider, and be it as reserve for possible future additions. In my understanding, for a machine with water-cooled, but non-ATC spindle, when it comes to [Drag Chain Width Computation](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/journeyman-x-50-drag-chain-addition/17984/2) I see 50 mm for the X axis and 76 mm for the Y axis as minimum.
