So what size/speed of motor would be needed to turn a steel 12qt pot, like the one shown in "Star Rolling Machine" video off of skylighter? I don't believe the plywood the steel bowl is attatched is actually resting on the shaft of the motor, but rather the motor turns a rod via pulleys inside the main box, and that is what the plywood mount rides on top of. My question is what size and speed of motor could do this?? I have been searching and have found that a dc tefc motor is the best choice, but find me one that isn't super expensive! And then the next issues, trying to control the speed of that motor, whole other ball of wax there!!
