The Viel belt grinder is designed as a cost effective, quality tool. It is specifically designed to be able to work with furnace type motors the buyer might already have on hand. Good used motors should be plentiful and inexpensive. Just make sure you get the right size.
I would suggest you pick up an inexpensive used 1/4 or 1/3 horsepower 1725 RPM (or equivalent for your electric power) motor. Try full speed for a while. You may decide you don't need variable speed. Many users feel that way. Using an inexpensive used motor will let you decide at minimal cost.
