New machine

Hi all.

I am currently in the market for a home shop machine.
I have not yet decided on a 3-in-1 or a desktop type mill.
It would be between the smithy granite 1340 cnc
the shopmaster eldarado quadra lift. (I would prefer a gunmaster with
larger motors and other eldarado extras)
This unit froom harbor frieght

The main reason I like the shopmaster is the swing over bed.
But on the ther hand the smithy looks good?
the piece on harbor frieght is cheap.
I will also be ordering motors and controllers.
I believe these will be my controllers with the 36 amp, 140 watt MOSFET
upgrade.

I will also be adding heat sinking to this controller.
I would like to control 5 axis if possible so I will be ordering two
controller boards.
I want continuiously variable spindle speed. umm what else.

Oh yay. what sized motors should I use for good continuious duty use and
will this controller run them smothly.


So are there any sugestions, comments, tips?

Thanks in advance for the help.
