"The commercial [finish motors] I found run on batteries..." and the lathe he used threw it's belts creating sags...

Makes me wonder where this guy shops for his equipment. After reading the first paragraph I lost any interest in what he had to say.

A classic expository writing technique is to lay out the problem you are trying to solve before you offer your solution.

Jon,

If he had written something like "I wanted to try and build my own to save a few bucks" or I wanted to try a different approach" I would have made it past the first paragraph. Since you took the time to respond, I gave it another lookover. Unfortunately the second time I didn't make it past the word "thingimibob" before reaching the same conclusion I did initially.

I did scan and look over the pictures though.

I thought it was pretty neat that he used a microwave turn table as a motor, and explained how to wire it.
I'm sure, as a Mechanical Engineer, that I use thingimibob, or whatchamacallit every day, unless of course it's actually a whosiwatsis
