Info on motor for Case neck turner

I am going to build one and was needing help on HP, RPM and Torque.
I have been looking at used gear head AC motors and this is what I came up with.
HP 1/25
RPM around 100
Torque 20 in#
If you think one is too much or not enough please let me know. Most motors I looked at has a 1/2" shaft.
Thanks
Anthony
 
I use a Bodine Electric 140rpm 35in-lb torque gear motor...plenty of torque. Model 0513. Bought it surplus but it still was not cheap. It powers a Wilson trimmer and turns the case holder for neck turning. I would look for 140 to 180 rpm as a good compromise between efficient speed for feeding fast enough to get a neck done fairly quick and still get a good finish while not generating too much heat in the mandrel.
