Probably not that simple to set up Dave. You need parrallel shafts and an adjustment method.
Small 3 phase motor and an inexpensive VFD is easy to do.
I'm probably going to get a small motor soon and set it up with a VFD so certain people can experiment with different things.

You have a very good start tho already

code4pay wrote Great ideas! Oh the agony of manually removing that last 1/4 of a mm of dip on the corner of a chisel

Progress slows exponentially.

I learned to joint the edge at the end, sometimes generously.
