Bob,
VFD's work with threee phase motors and AC servos, you can obtain very high speeds with the later, but are limited to about 5000 rpm with a normal 3 phase motor. Your best bet for a router is...

Both of the lathe master machines recieved good reviews, esp the 30.

wear on a single point will be hard to control, you would be better off tapping, either with a tapping head or gain control of the spindle. At 500 pcs you will be changing taps or tools either way....
