Jeff,

Unhide your e-mail or e-mail me at mbarkley@wowway.com. Motor speed is a personal preference. I have several speeds but no longer use anything but 2/3 rpm which, I feel, gives me the best results although I hand turn for the first hour or so using Threadmaster

There are some geared-down motors that can be mounted on a board. Then you can get the rubber-faced chucks that'll fit just about anything, or make one out of a PVC cap and a piece of rubber. These motors will giv e you anything from 1rpm to about 11rpm.

Look on @#$%& as well.

If you can come up with a little extra cash, look in the catalogs from the sponsors on this BBS for something like the Pac Bay drying motors with the roller-type support. But I understand the budget problem.
