You'll be lucky!
I've searched for something similar, and have yet to find anything.
The biggest problem is even the smaller commonly available stuff, still use spindle servos in the double figure HP range, meaning they just won't run of a converter unless you happen to have a very high capacity single phase supply. The main reason for the high HP spindles, is to still maintain torque at low speeds for live tooling options, without adding the complications of gears.
I'd love something with a 2-3hp servo 2-speed spindle and linear slides, but there just isn't anything available, or if it does, I've just not found it.
