I haven't got a motor yet. I was thinking of using a cheapy
motor to drive my own shaft with lower slop bearings.

A quick search seems to show laminate-trimmers are the same
thing with similar rpm:

More searching seems to show that die-grinder/laminate-trimmers are just
wood-working plunge routers without the frame and handles:
