    Thanks for all the feedback from everyone. I see now that a dust
    collection system is mandatory. I have sheet metal skills, so I will
    start construction of the hoods as soon as I do my first castings. 
    No sense starting the hoods for the buffer before I have anything to
    buff! 

    Oh, and buffers regularly run at 3400 rpm. There are only two speeds
    for most induction motors, 1700 and 3400. Most motors are 1700, but
    many are 3400. They probably have variable speed buffers but I've
    never seen one. On the upside, the 1700 rpm motors are twice as hard
    to bog down relative to a similarly sized 3400 rpm motor. 

Thanks again for your help,
Katou
