thank you everyone, this was all great information. I read stuff earlier but I didn't have a chance to reply at the time.
Sam - To tell you the truth, I have been working so hard on the engineering of the gantry/table/other non-spindle items that I hadn't though about the difference in RPM's necessary for the different material until you mentioned it. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you brought that up. It changes my plans, and I'm going back to the drawing board.
Since reading this today, I have enlisted the aid of one of the engineers at work to help me with the design. so hopefully, I won't miss stuff like that anymore. We'll see how things turn out. I might end up making two smaller machines (one for wood and one for metal) rather than the larger machine that I had originally envisioned. I don't really need a 6x3 table anyway. lol.
