wraping machine motors

Hi all I was just wondering if a BBQ rotisory spit would work on as a motor to turn my rod on the wraping machine or would it be too slow?
Thank you
Tyler

It would be pretty slow for that task, unless you could speed it up somehow with gears or pullys

If you are building a wrapper and not a dryer, you pretty much need a variable speed fairly high speed foot controlled motor to handle the stop/start needs of wrapping thread. On the other hand, for a drye, 3 rpm up will do fine.

Tyler,

In that case, a BBQ motor would be fine

A lot of guys use the motors out of old microwaves, the ones with a turntable in them. Come in different RPM', usually slow but will turn rod's. I have a couple turners I've made from these. If you look at your local salvage place you can probly find them real cheap and sometimes even free.
