Hi,
I have finished the CNC part of my computerised rose engine (see http://blog.alanbattersby.co.uk/ for picture) but need to drive my cutting frame. For this I require around a 1/2 hp motor that will run continuously for 4+ hours at around 1500-2000+ rpm preferably with speed control. Can anyone suggest a suitable motor/controller combination. Don't know if dc or ac single or 3 phase is best so any advice appreciated.

Thanks Alan
