i don't know if this is useful or not, but you can always go to a pulley system. I know a blacksmith who used the five speed pulleys out of a Harbor Freight drill press. Fabricated his pulleys onto the grinder table and at slow speeds he has all the torque one could wish for and he's using a one HP motor. Does well at high speed to if he doesn't push to hard.
