The big drum switch is still on the machine too it has a wire that runs into the VFD box on it. But I feel like I will need to just turn it on and leave it, using the remote for the VFD as my on off switch, correct?

I was excited to get all the extras with the machine as I’ve never run a Bridgeport with any of this stuff on it but have had newer import machines with similar features. I’m hoping to get it figured out and get the learning curve on it pretty soon, sometimes all the technology drives me nuts.
