I am having a difficult time choosing a motor. I would like to build a table about 2' x 2' with a cutting envelope of 1.5' x 1.5'. I want to be able to cut up to 1" thick wood. Don't see doing any metal on this one. What is a good size motor. I thought of a NEMA 23 at about 26 oz's. Is this too small, too big?

Thanks for any and all help?

Too small. Try for at least 100 oz. At that, you will need to cut 1" in a few passes.
