neck turning motor?

[TrxR]

I was thinking of a setup for a motor for neck turning and was wondering if it would work.

I was thinkin of a low rpm high torque 12v gear motor as you can get them quite reasonable. I was going to power it using an old power supply from a computer as i got a vouple laying around.

Can anyone suggest a good rpm range to look for as well ad maybe a decent motor to look at?

You need a gearmotor, like 1/8hp at 70-80rpm

Older kitchen hand held mixer . The kind with 2 whipping blades , sorry I don't know the correct name . Mine I made 30 yrs ago and still works great . The best are found at used appliance or restaurant supply .
Pm me and I can email a pic tomorrow . It has 2 separate turning outlets ,one I use for neck the other is set up for case length .

Dayton makes them with the gear reduction. I made a Benchrite clone from one. Ended going back to Dewalt, lol.

That's a lot better looking than my case prep machine . Mines very old and used . I emailed pics to the op cause I'm too tech challenged to even post pics here .
I've used grill rotisserie motors , but the old set up I built worked so much better .

Whats the model of that dayton?

My other thought is i have a 1/3 hp 1750rpm fan motor here and i was thinking of connecting it to a shaft in a pillow block bearing by a belt that way i could reduce it to whatever rpm i want by a pulley swap.

It could be made to work but way over complicated . Just get a variable speed corded 1/4 drill or surplus gear motors .
The pulley reduction would need a huge dif in pulley diam to achieve the 70-90 rpm . Most of the fan power will be lost in transmission .

I've never been told why the motor has to turn slowly.

Speed equals heat transfer which negates the fix.

Negates the fix? What fix?

I use my cordless drill. Variable speed.

Wayne, I've used a drill, drillpress, mill, and now my lathe. I turn the lathe from 375-500. Bear in mind I only do about 20 cases at a time. I have the option of spray coolant or flood.

Randy, what is the fix?

I never thought about speed . I always used the modified Lee style case length cutter . Of course I modified his idea , but it still has a pilot that the case spins over . My old osterizer mixer has done tens of thousand cases in its 35 yrs of operation as a case prep machine . I guess I always kept the speed low cause the mixer was low . I don't think a faster rpm would hurt , well up to a limit I guess .
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !
