Lowest cost I've seen would be  something like the 
trimmers/die grinders you were looking at. That's the first 
time I've heard of trimmers. The trimmers seem more suited 
because they have better mounting assembly attached to them. 
The die grinders are designed to be held by hand. The die 
grinder I got has a round part on the end for mounting. 
Stefan mentioned a Proxxon was also a very well made motor, 
but don't know who sells them in Australia. The Bosch GSS27 
I got was about AUD$240, I'd expect all these motors to be 
around the same price range (AUD$240 ~ $340). The AUD$100 
Dremal kit would be a complete waste of money for a cnc. 
These are all industrial type tools, so you may not find 
them next to handyman stuff.
