Their ME0909 is nice and small and would easily do the job of spinning a blade.

I like it. What voltage are you using on yours? What blade width? How many kW (or amps whatever works for ya)?
Currently we have a crazy expensive setup with a 205vac 1.35kW (4.15n*m 3450 rpm) motor, an allen bradley vfd, and a big inverter on our grocery list. All together I assume our current robot cost will be around $4500 with all the gps, sensors, 5 electric motors, etc...
Puts into perspective if I ever make another one for private use I will for sure just use a gasoline cutting motor. Much cheaper.
