New Machine Build- cnc spindle motor

[mad_dog096]

hay guys

i have a huge ?

i am making my own custom spindle and i am at a loss for what motor to attach to it. I want to do a pully system and gear it where it has a good
amount of RPM and lots or torque, ( was thinking of a AC motor) but....
here is the kicker i need something fairly smallish and doesnt weigh a ton.

any one have an idea of what to use?

if so would you mind directing me the right way.

thx for your help.

What are you going to cut with it and what rpm range?

I plan on cutting aluminum with my machine.
not sure on the rpm, still learing the cnc thing, just something that has good torque and hp. probably no more then like 3-4000 rpm would be my guess

thx for the help guys
