If you want to REALLY up the build, switch the motor to an industrial sewing machine motor and controller.
My four wheel will vary in speed from 0 - 2,400 RPM's.
When I grind knifes with it, I can slow it down to a couple hundred RPM's, both reducing heating problems and limiting how much material you take off your knives.
