    G0704 Motor upgrade?

    Looking to upgrade my stock motor for my G0704, not having any issues yet, just looking for more power. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    James

    Several suggestions here, some I've tested (treadmill, 1100 watt and servo'd, aux spindle on the side), some are in the works (2hp 3-phase vfd, rc motor).

    G0704 Motor upgrade?

    Btw, I am still waiting on that 1100w from Quality tools. Apparently they might be having some motor issues too. They are asking their Chinese supplier to use different motors or that is what I was told.
    A lazy man does it twice.

    Is that 1100 a direct bolt on?

    I really dont want to go 230v where my mill is its currently wired for 120v. So what is the difference with the KBMM125 and KBIC125 boards? Also what motors am I limited to with 120v? I want the max rpm and HP I can get on a 120V setup.

    Thanks
