AVR-Chat

Check out www.ramprodinc.com or www.naildrill.com. They have brush motors,
but they are VERY reliable. Used by dentists, carvers and manicurists.  Some
of their units are PIC controlled, and you could easily tap into the control
circuit with your own PWM.

So, if I restated my goal as a motor that can turn 15,000 or more, and
have a controller to regulate speed, what would anyone recomend ?

I am leery of a brushed motor as of the higher maintenacne of them.
