You'll need to use gears to reduce the speed of the CIM to a more reasonable level. The "free speed" of the CIM is 5310 rpm, which is probably far more than you want for this. Vexpro and Andymark sell gears made to mount onto a CIM shaft, and gears for hexagonal shafts; a few pairs of gears will get you the speed you need.
