Hey Mike...

Not to be splitting hairs  but you would get 226.66 BPS at 1700 rpm with 
8 electrodes...

1700/60 = 28.33     28.33X8 = 226.66

to get the requested 170 BPS, you want 1275 rpm with 8 electrodes
Basically 75% of full motor speed...

1275/60 = 21.25       21.25X8=170

or... ( BPS/#of electrodes)X 60 seconds   =  RPM

I am going to run it at about 170 BPS, not 120 so it is a bit easier on the NST, I will have it on a dimmer so I can slow it down just a tad if needed. so correct me if I'm wrong, but 1700 rpms, with 8 rotary and 2 stationary electrodes would give me 170 BPS. If I do end up killing my NST, there are plenty of MOT's waiting for me at the dump... hopefully I will not have to go through that whole process. I am going to use some plastic from a cutting board, but I am not sure what size disc to use, my motor is rather large, so it wont loose a lot of RPM's no matter what size, but what do you recommend?
