John - have you had a chance to try out those real inexpensive air power
die grinders sold by Harbor Freight? They appear to be identical to the
ones I purchased from a Canadian supplier called Princess Auto. Their
claim to fame is extremely small run-out and fast speed - I think they will
do 60,000 RPM.

I've got a couple but haven't tried them in a mill yet.
