How big is this speedway mill-drill? At 28 lbs for one of these, I don't know as it would be all that great hanging on the end of the x table. OTOH it looks like several lbs of stuff could be removed too. That mount looks like 5 lbs, and the pulley and guard could go. Wow, a 3/4" shaft! I'd lay odds its bearings are oilite though. The controller is uni-directional, so for servo use its likely something electronically bidirectional would have to be bought/built. And of course encoders suitable for the accuracy requirement fitted. However, for a bare motor, $115 & shipping is a decent price. I could eventually be interested in using one to replace the 300 watter on my mini- lathes spindle, but one project at a time. My existing cnc4pc C41 interface could probably run that controller without any surprises at all. At 28 lbs, what is the shipping to the eastern time zone? I'm drooling.
