I bought an old (Montgomery Ward Powr Kraft! OLD!) grinding wheel. Is this practical to use for sharpening? It seems like it's pretty much over-the-top, but I learn lots here.
I have not plugged the motor in - the insulation on the wires has dry rot!
I have a variety of 1725 RPM motors and several pulleys, so I am pretty sure I could get it to spin quite slowly.
The wheel spins easily and true (although I did not measure it - just my gut feeling).
I included a picture of the only damage on the wheel.
As a point of reference, it is probably worth $45-50 on eBay.

I also bought a Disston saw clamp with a ball joint. WOW! What a cool tool. I was thinking this will probably be worth LOTS! Wrong - probably $25 (it's the No. 1, 9" wide).
