What this really boils down to is that my motors can probably deliver peak

I think you are going to need at least a 4:1 belt reduction, maybe even
more.
with 4:1 reduction from 1750 RPM, you can get 438 RPM to the screw, which
comes out to 88 IPM. I never run my machine that fast because I tend to
break stuff, like running the vise into the end mill!
