I was happily milling away today until suddenly the spindle stopped. I
can still hear a very light buzz but nothing happens anymore. I hoped
for a hidden thermal protection, but after cooling down the spindle
still doesn't start. This a asynchronous motor BTW. I don't think it is

EMC2 should work well. Do a search for Xylotex on the EMC2 wiki:

Hi all, I have built a bench mill from a fairly heavy duty drill

The difference here is that you don't share the display. So, you can
move your mouse from your windows desktop/monitor to your emc2 monitor.
The keyboard will switch focus from windows to the emc2 system.

That sounds similar to VNC. VNC has been around for quite some time and
allows you to have the desktop of one computer as a window on another
computer. I use it regularly to work with my networkl server which has
no keyboard, mouse or monitor of it's own.
