Default VFD and AC Motor question

I have a 3 phase Leeson 2HP motor and KBAC-27D controller on my KMG grinder.
Controller data: http://www.kbelectronics.com/data_sheets/kbac.pdf
Now I am looking for a motor for disc grinder I can hook up to the same control so I
have variable speed on both
I found a good deal on this 3 phase Baldor motor($100 for a brand new one):
http://www.baldor.com/products/detai...40C+AMB%2DCONT
Problem is that it's 3450RPM For the work I am doing recommended RMP is 1725.

My question: is there any problems running this motor at less than half speed all the
time? Any problems swithching between motors with different RPM(my other motor is 1725RMP)?


Thanks,
Alex
