Electric motor for a Henderson Tri-Trim case trimmer

[ptf18]

I use a electric drill to power my Henderson Tri-Trim Case Trimmer. I'm looking for an electric motor to use to make the unit self-contained. I don't know what I would use to "attach" the motor shaft to the Trimmer as I'm current using the keyless chuck on the drill to do so.

Has anyone found a motor for use with the Henderson Trimmer and if so what did you use to "attach" it to the Trimmer?

I am looking to do the same thing. Owner of Henderson Precision says he will be offering a motor mount option in the future. If you are in a rush, then a 1600-1800rpm motor and some lovejoys will suffice.

Something like this. They come in various sizes to mate the shaft of the trimmer to the motor you buy.

Just line up both shafts and use a tight fitting piece of rubber fuel hose from an auto parts store. Works like a champ and has enough flex to not put strain on the bearings, that’s how it’s done on the Gracey Trimmer. If it slips use a wire crimp to tighten the fit. Use a 1725 rpm or less motor. I picked up a small 1/15 hp motor at an electrical surplus store.

Thanks Fellows. Now to locate a motor. I would like to fabricate a platform to mount the trimmer and motor on instead of the cluster of having drill motor.
