    Mutt,
    The speed is indeed a critical part of the polishing process. The thing I would be concerned with is trying to run your grinding wheels at twice their normal speed - the grinders are a nominal 1725rpm while polishers are nominal 3450rpm. You'll tend to get things pretty hot grinding, and you need to ensure your wheels are good for twice the normal speed. Also if you're into a lot of polishing you may not want your grinding debris contaminating your polishing area.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
