    I made a small spindle using a 100w dc motor which was fine for circuit boards. As a suggestion have a look at servo motors instead, tend to have a better torque curve and a lot more controllable? A stepper with a planetary gearbox could work? just rob a drill for its gubbins.

    At the speeds you are quoting are you wanting to cut steel?

    No, I think those are the cutting speeds for coffee!

    I think using a drill motor is a good idea since they're very cheap.
