I think I'll keep the spindle for now to get it up and running as soon as possible and the spindle mod will be a future upgrade. The reverse direction is controlled by the gearbox as well, it's a matter of choice how to control the spindle. Either run the motor backwards with the VFD or entirely with the gearbox hydraulics.
