Has anyone ever tried using a motor from a sewing machine to power a lure turner? Not sure about the newer models, but the older machines were setup with a foot pedal that allowed for variable speed. These motors seem like they would have plenty of power to do the job and I'm thinking it wouldn't be much of a stretch to convert the foot pedal over to a variable speed switch. And if you didn't want to spend the money on a switch you could build some sort of clamping device to hold the pedal in position with an adjustable screw to press down on the pedal thus maintaining a set speed.
Just thinking out loud here guys. I've already got a lure turner, but always trying to think of ways to make things better or easier. Would like to hear your thoughts about this.
