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.
