How to choose best servo motor for Adler K269-373

[JosieSparrowhawk]

I just purchased an Adler K269-373 head only. I have a table on order but need a servo motor. This is my first industrial machine so I'd welcome any input on how to choose the proper servo motor or which brand/model might be best. I've budgeted something under $300 for this component. Tell me if I can make that budget or why I should look at something more costly. Thanks for holding my hand along this learning curve!

I use the servo motor and speed reducers listed on this web page.

Is it difficult to add a speed reducer at a later date or should I consider that initially or just do it all in one go? I’m currently making shoes, boots, and leather armor.

It is not difficult to add a speed reducer later. However, you will need to buy two new V belts: one from the motor the the large pulley on the reducer, and the other from the reducer's small pulley to the machine's pulley.
