StriperCandy Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 My version of a lure spinner. I threw it together out of scrap. Four turn table motors from microwaves. It turns out there are DC and AC motors. To use the DC, you'd need a transformer-Home Depot sells one for door bells that has the right voltage. The little electronic gizmo at the bottom right is a board one of the motors was connected to in the oven, it has a fuse and I think some sort of transformer. Not all the ovens use this board, but all the AC motors can. These are torquey little motors-I keep them running for 2 days and nights while the Envirotex cures, and the motors don't even work hard. Most of them turn at about 3 rpm. The motors are hard to kill, so even a dead microwave will probably still have a working motor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSUICEMAN Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 i'm going to built a variation of a jig/fly turner that will accept alligator clips for cranks, or bills for larger cranks. I will use my rod turner (probably, I do have a new bbq rotisserie motor that would be good for it also). easy to make a collar to fit into the rod turner chuck though.

TerryF2858 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 this is my turner, i used a rotisserie motor, got the circles at hobby lobby, and the clips off ebay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apdriver Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I did the same with a rotisserie motor but used some paper binders and cut my circles out of some 3/4 plywood I had laying around. These work nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSUICEMAN Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 ok, since I have a rotisserie motor, i'm going to do the same as apdriver. I like that. simple, yet very effective. going to make it once it warms up. I don't have the rod or mount, but will cobble those up (lost em in the flood).

Dauds Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Big fan of StriperCandy's concept with individual motors and vertical space use. I've been trying to dream up something similar with only one motor, but my mind keeps severely over-complicating things. I'm using typical "wheel" setups, but I dislike having to stop the whole thing to put a bait on (typically, I'm spinning larger baits, so it's not just a quick clip on). Not to mention, they eat up an annoying amount of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriperCandy Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Daud, I'm finding the same problem trying to work out a one motor deal. I may have an idea, based on a photo I saw. The problem with the one I saw is that it is oriented horizontally, and takes up a LOT of floor/desk space that I don't have. I will post the Sketchup drawing within a few days. In the mean while, here is are Sketchups of an 8 motor version.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauds Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Doors are an added bonus. (When I got married, her cat came along with the deal. At home or in the shop, those damn orange hairs get everywhere.) Reluctant to throw a link in here, so let me know if I'm breaking any protocol... These are not the exact motors, but I picked up several sets of something similar a few years ago:http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-x-TYC-50-AC110-Synchronous-Motor-15-18RPM-CW-CCW-4W-Torque-1-5KGF-CM-Silver-/182505118374?hash=item2a7e271aa6:g:VE0AAOSwDKtY2Pkw They spin a little quicker than I'd like, and they're not the highest quality (plastic insides have failed on a few, but I was admittedly over-burdening them; was using them on rod drying racks). Regardless, the price is right. Also, having the same motors makes the wiring a breeze. Had them running in parallel, each on it's own switch. They do spin in both directions, so sometimes I had to toggle the switch a couple times to get them to spin in the desired direction. Just throwing out an option for your next build.

StriperCandy Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Microwave motors are the same, actually. They spin either way and have cheap plastic insides. I've killed a few. Thanks for the link tho, can't always find ovens to rip apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriperCandy Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Mine are actually 5-6 rpm, for some reason, I thought they were 3 rpm. Edited April 5, 2017 by StriperCandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriperCandy Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Another version-as drawn, it would be 40 3/4 in. long by about a foot high. Designed to turn lures that have the through wire already installed. Wires with almost closed loops link the lures together. The wire on the opposite end from the motor has a washer and a spring. The spring sits outside the box, between the washer and the outside wall, keeping tension on the whole assembly. Don't know if this will actually work-the spring tension has to be enough to work, but not keep the lures from turning. What might work better is adding a wooden bead right after the spring, then a skate bearing for the bead to turn on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Young Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 You won't believe how many lures, flies, jigs, etc I can cure on this thing. I have done up to 12 8" lures at a time with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauds Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I dig the tool storage you added on the front of that setup, along with the smaller 'turning' piece (noodle). Again, I hate the space I'm wasting with larger wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriperCandy Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Holy cow! That's high capacity. My first rotisserie was the large wheel type. I don't like chasing the lures around, trying to clear coat them-it's why I opted for the rotisserie setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretcher66 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLcx4duMH9M take a look at the lure turner in this video . very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriperCandy Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 That's a nice one. I just received the exact same motors from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/222320073394?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT They're listed as ROBUST motors and it's true. Much better than the motors I've pulled out of microwaves. The rating is for 220V -I thought they would turn too slow on 110V , but they work fine. The best part is they are SUPER CHEAP to buy!

mark poulson Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I made this years ago with a BBQ rotisserie kit and plywood discs. I suspended my 8" to 12" jointed swimbaits between the two discs, and coated them once they were "on the rack". The motor was 1 rpm, which was perfect for my E tex coatings.

StriperCandy Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Stretcher's post finally got me going on a new rotisserie. Just started working on a High Capacity machine for ten lures. Been wanting to get one built that spins lures that are already set up with a through wire, so I can do a full epoxy seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretcher66 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 i am thinking a old component stereo cabinet would work great, with the glass door that is held by a magnet,, just pull the shelves out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
