I found one very small vari-speed one that was insufficient for what I needed. I also looked at slow speed motors and buffer set-up but they were more than I wanted to spend.

Solution: build it. I am finishing construction on "Franken-Bench" that includes a buffing "station". Using a standart 3400 RPM bench grinder (that I got for free), I am mounting a 1.75" pully to drive another pully at 3.45". Quick math puts speed stepped down to about 1725 RPM. Another (not-so-quick) pully change, I could adjust speed as required. I don't anticipate needing any other speeds (using 6" buffing wheels) but I have the option.

I'll post pics of Franken-Bench next weekend if I can get all of the parts in and get it finished.....
