    Sergy~ I think the choice of  best polishing motor is easy - Baldor. 
    They are well-made,  last forever and give you trouble-free service. 

    Breathing polishing dust is dangerous to your health.  Given the
    high cost of the open models that have built in fans and filters, I
    believe that the very best savings is to build the box yourself, or
    have it made.  

    A second idea might be to use a low-cost double arbor motor that you
    can get from most tool dealers,  They can be outfitted to change out
    hard and soft polishing wheels and regular grinding wheels, 

    I bought a used motor and built a box for it, using an ancient
    computer printer box.  It has a light, vent hole for vacuum hose, and
    foam for sound dampening and for my need, a padding to prevent damage
    to any piece ripped from a too-loose grip.  It would be extremely
    easy to build the same kind of box for about $40, tops! 

Good luck,,
Frif
