for the original poster, the variable speed things are for small wheels only. don't waste your money. i went through the same thing you are now, 2 months ago. after i wasted $50, it ended up with me ordering a dayton 1/3hp motor with one of those industrial flexshafts.

that other **** was 100% useless, granted this flexshaft and motor cost me a bit under $400, it does what you need it to. those little puney things are good for dremel type work, but not heavy duty buffing
