One question. Only because it wouldn't cost too much more, had you though of using gears to add drive speed (at a loss of torque)? There would be additional math involved, but once it was all sorted out, I think you would have more versatility due to the increased speed.
For my first project, I cheated. I purchased a R7 (Router) kit. I'll learn on this and hope to (in the future) use this to build my plasma table.
