idealy he needs an electronic motor. (110v) They are very quiet, and you can set max. speed. They range in price from $100-$300.
Failing that a clutch motor. If set-up properly they work well. Some of the older units are noisy. They can be had for $40-$110
The table is important, and on another thread Steve from Freedom kilts showed pictures of his extended table set-up. Used tables can be had for $40 and up.
Good lighting is also important.
I have the same machine as Dread aquired. I have an older computer vari motor system hooked up. Works very well. That system sells for around $300 plus. The newer Electronic motors are the way to go, Steve has them on his machines.
