I still haven't picked up the cable I need but I decided to wire it up with what I had. I'll simply change it over later.
The motor is noisier than I would like and I think I'll have to change the bearings. They were out of stock when I went to buy new ones, so I cleaned and re-packed the old ones. Obviously they were not as good as I had first thought.
The good news is that there was no issues with heat on the quill. In fact, there was no palpable temperature change after 30 minutes of running at top speed.
The bad news is that I don't have the clutch set properly, so the quill feed doesn't work. At first I was worried that something major was wrong, so I removed the selector housing and was relieved to see both shafts spinning around. I took the cover off of the clutch and the feed works if I press the keyed part of the clutch in by hand.
It is beginning to get exciting
