If they are high-voltage motors, then running them on my drives will force you to reduced speeds (0which may turn out OK). If they are rated for up to 120 V AC, then you can get full speed out of them.
So, you'd need a universal PWM controller, $250. The drives are $150 per axis. That is most of it. You can add a power switch and braking module for $50, and a spindle DAC to control a spindle drive, also $50. Are you going to the CNC Workshop in Ann Arbor later this week?
