I have a couple of old electric motors,one is 1/4 HP 5.4 amp with a 1725 RPM...If I rewired the cord,greased it up (yes,it runs) would it make a good buffer for polishing rocks..(To fast-to slow???)
I'm thinking the other motor is the same on everything,both have grinding wheels on them,look to be from the 50's or 60's...
What I like,is both are USA made!

It would run a small arbor or trim saw. Same speed as the Genie so you should be happy.
