21xdc Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Pretty cool... That's the fastest turner I have seen used for clearcoating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Moose Baits Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Pretty cool... That's the fastest turner I have seen used for clearcoating... I'm going to get a plug in dimmer switch to slow it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) With the short arms, that speed of 12rpm is perfect. I wouldn't bother with slowing it down. In fact, you are good for up to 5" from axis to furthest end of lure. Dave Edited February 28, 2016 by Vodkaman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I value it and you probably save me some bucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBehr Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I like it! Depending on where you live (I am in Minnesota) you could add a light bulb to make the area warmer so that epoxy cures faster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Moose - funny, how did you know I had done the calculations The centrifugal forces are around 1.6% of the gravity forces on your turner. When I do this calculation (spreadsheet), I set the bar at around 2% although a think this number could go a lot higher. I did a lot of work on this subject a few years ago, with experiments to back up the numbers. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Dimming an electric motor can cause problems with the wrong dimmer... Unless it's made for electric motors. Like a router speed control, Or maybe a ceiling fan dimmer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in Ohio so we may not be as frigid, but we still get cold.

You don't say anything unless you're confident and your confidence is built upon math and study. Dimming an electric motor can cause problems with the wrong dimmer... Unless it's made for electric motors. Like a router speed control, Or maybe a ceiling fan dimmer. I did not know this. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_Hacker Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 You could have left the heating element wires on it and if dimmed down could have controlled the temp for a little heat also. Plastic box may have to be changed out and a nice set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogAddict Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I like it. Simple and effective. Mine is way more complicated but no better than yours. Do you put the lid on the tub when you're turning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you put the lid on the tub when you're turning? No, If I was worried about dust I may though. You could have left the heating element wires on it and if dimmed down could have controlled the temp for a little heat also. Plastic box may have to be changed out and a nice set up. The box itself would bock the heat...or melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
