I din't think you have the speed req'd for a router, or for metal cutting for that matter!

And the faster you spin them, the less torque they make.
Someone, elsewhere, suggested the possibility of using a brushless motor. LOT's of speed. But again, there's the question of torque.
THanks for the replies. Just trying to figure out inexpensive, physically small and hold up to a 1/4 inch shank.

That may be a tough equation to solve.
How's that go?... "You can have it cheap, fast, or right. Pick any two."
lol "Cheap, Fast or Right.. pick any two...." I love that. Am gonna use it. Printing it out on big letters and sticking it on my lab wall now. Thank you
I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
