It does what it says on the tin

I installed this VFD on my bBridgeport Series 1 (1HP) Knee Mill. While I only tested this briefly, I left it running at slow speed all night and it worked in the morning. Setting the parameters wasn't very difficult, the seller has good videos on YouTube to show you how it works and it seems to be working as it should. Now I had a little problem with peeling off the keyboard key sticker. I contacted the manufacturer/seller regarding this, they responded very quickly and fixed the problem. I can't say anything about durability or reliability as I haven't made any chips with it yet. But if you're a hobbyist like me and looking for an affordable drive, I'd definitely buy it again. UPDATE: May 2021 Still working fine. Still happy. However, I use the display remotely with a longer ribbon cable. In cold weather, the LED numbers will flicker randomly. Under 50F.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
