For that price, rip out the guts and replace the works with COTS units. You end up with single phase. Possibly only a 3HP spindle but do you need a bigger one? The Chinese AC Servos appear to be pretty good. Even the squeal problem from my spindle 1.8kW motor was a parameter error. Quickly solved.
Or wait a bit and the new STMBLs will be out. Odds are they might retrofit those motors nicely.
