Well, the machine is not for my own use.
Do I understand correctly, that You mean this one?

Looks pretty large, or does it show motor within some kind of case or
something and motor itself is smaller? Searching for pictures shows
all this bulky assembly.
Actually I have to consult with the client about the speed control. I
suspect that I might negotiate that spindle is not necessarily set by
EMC2, could be a handwheel on a motor itself.
