Delw Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Theres a bunch of motors that will work. Rotiserri motors, ice cream maker motors, drill press's gear reduction motors and more. paddles can consist of sheet metal to angle iron to plexiglass, teflon spatula tips ect. dont go over 50rpm 20-30 is best 4Z146 25 RPM, 1/60hp, 115V Run Torque 22 in. lbs. 7 ZEM 6025-2 1. 50 5 lb. $77.50 found it at http://www.electricmotorwarehouse.com/Dayton/3M104.htm there are other motors that are cheaper and even some that are more expenisive, there are also some very good different ways of doing things. page 3 has some good info in this thread. http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/soft-plastics/11363-making-presto-pot-stirrer-3.html heres another goo thread and some ideas http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/soft-plastics/9901-finished-presto-pot.html http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/soft-plastics/14974-presto-pot-stirrer.html do a search for mixers or stirrers and you should finnd posted over the last few years and se how people prgressed from there. what it all boils down to is how elaborate you want to go and how much you want to spend., one thing for sure a mixer is a must if using a presto , lee or any pouring pot if your using glitter and or salt. you can do fine with a 1-2 cup pyrex and a spoon or knife to stir, but anything bigger a mixer is a must.
