Looks like the type of thing I'm after, but that's where I come stuck. How do I power it? Does it need a specific power supply? Yes I see I could be 6-9 or 12v but like mod charging does it need certain amps etc? a mate has 1 of these I can have but he ran it off wagon batteries to start his planes. I'm lost as to wether it would run on mains again. www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/221857788695 |

Cheers mate, but I'm looking to fit something that looks right. I do have some rotary tools, drills and a rotozip I could use but like I say I'm looking for the bit that looks the part. It's just to be a hobby thing and probably won't get used hence using lots of perspex to make it showy.

Good find on that one. I do have a wickes tile cutter that I've just fitted a 180mm 60 tooth blade to for fine craft work. Never thought of stripping it to look at the motor. The closest I've come to is this... But it's american 115v. www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/321741873545ive read someone made one in USA with a 1/15hp motor, but that motor was no longer available. How does 1/15hp motor compare to a 450w motor? Can they be compared that way for power or torque? I'm outa my depth with electrics. |

About half the size I reckon. Only 2 terminals on the back. And if the chuck is only a 10mm capacity, it's got to be smaller than a drill but bigger than a dremel.

Hopefully running mains 240v. A friend has offered a remote rc aircraft starter which is 12v so a transformer will be needed if I go that way. I have various rotary tools I could use like a rotozip that's got a cracking motor, hardly used. But looking for something that's meant to be their. As above.
It's mainly a hobby project, so if it ever does get used it will be real lightweight stuff. I'm thinking 3-4" saw blade max and mini drill/dremel chuck for various polishing/ sanding/ grinding discs.
Framework looks simple steel frame and half inch perspex, and a few stainless nuts and bolts.
The main shaft and bearing housings still need a bit of investigating.

Any chance of a list of flavours. I'm new to diy so many single flavour juice for me. Things I like inc Heisenberg, Red Astaire, Black Jacks, Plumenthol, Black Velvet, so all strong flavours.
