Thanks, Jess. I have three completed and two in the works. I built a router, mill and converted a little lathe. I am about 3/4 done with a trailer mounted plasma cutter and still need time to get this second lathe built. The plasma is now on permanent hold though. I never expected the mill to do so well. As it is now, the plasma really isn't needed. That may change and if it does, I will complete it then.
I hadn't seen those motors before.
You won't have any trouble running these motors with the drive I used on my mill. You won't get more than 2HP though. I find that is plenty on my mill. There ain't any bogging down. At the low end, I cut steel at 3300 RPM and 6600 on the high side. I spot drill and engrave at the high speed on steel and use it also for all my aluminum cutting. It just works better than I expected.
I looked on the Minarik site and the two drives they have to handle this sized motor are both well over $500. I think I would go the servo route or use an AC motor and VFD instead.
Good luck with it and post a link if you have a build log.
