It sure seems like it would be a suitable spindle drive for an engraving machine. Or with a timing belt reduction, a milling machine or lathe spindle for up to a 8" lathe. You did not salvage the motors driving electronics? Not having the driver electronics would run the cost up a bit. IIRC I saw something on PCW's site that might work for that. Thats www.mesanet.com. Find the 8I20. Its for 3 phase stuff to 400 volts, and 30 amps. Over kill, but can do that job I would think. Probably a daughter card setup that would need another interface to the computer. I have no experience with it, so Peter, help me out here? You say its tiny, and I'd assume air cooled. How big around is it. I would love to find something I could mount in the nominally 50mm diameter Z slider castings hole for the existing spindle of my toy mill which currently has a 200 watt, nominally 4k revs peak motor that drives to 2500 revs max thru noisy, high failure rate plastic gears now. All the candidate motors on fleabay are 53mm and up diameters, and would need the spindle bore enlarged, at risk of finding air.
