Looks like you got it about handled. Chips are about to fly!

There are terminals for a braking resistor, though I have not looked into that yet. I'm OK with the extended spin up and slow down speeds at this point. Not really in a hurry yet.
Installed the new on/off switch.
I managed to clean up a piece of mild steel today with one of the nitride coated end mills. Seemed to work great. Tried a carbide insert face mill and not much joy. I understand I need higher speeds and heavier feed for carbide, so I need to step back and look at my setup.
Got an R8 collet set, an R8 drill chuck, an R8 to MT2 adapter, a new drawbar, an edge finder, and a slitting saw arbor in the mail yesterday and today.
Waiting on the boring head and a 5C collet set with square and hex collet blocks, and a few other things still in transit.
Having a lot of fun learning this new machine.
