finlander Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hi. Back again. Every now and again I come up for air after swimming with the fishes. I don’t know how to swim. Any how, looking for a dependable rotisserie motor that does 7-8 rpm. Mine is acting up and I can’t trust it for turning when there is something with Etex on it. Thought you pros can suggest a brand. Don’t need it oer night. Can be shipped in. Thanks. The Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Fisher Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 These are what I have been using...if you search a little I'm sure there is a 7-8 rpm as well, hope this helps https://www.ebay.com/itm/49TYZ-A2-AC-220-240V-4W-5-6-RPM-CW-CCW-Synchronous-Motor-For-Microwave-Oven-Tool/332910612887?hash=item4d8304d197:rk:4:pf:0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty's Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Find a Bodine gear motor. Will last you forever and a day. Maybe longer life than cockroaches or taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I make a ton of baits and use these>>> https://www.ebay.com/itm/36-20LB-Universal-Grill-Electric-Rotisserie-Motor-120V-4-W-On-Off-Switch-BBQ/273370941269?epid=28021692767&hash=item3fa62d8755:g:d8UAAOSwNDVbVYJD:rk:147:pf:0&LH_BIN=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted December 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Last post shoes some on EBay for $22.00. Looks like the original I started with. Something went awry internally. Don’t know what it was, plastic gears? You get what you pay for. Thanks all for the quick replies. Well, back to the deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted December 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Found a Bodine for $260 that does 8.5 or 10 rpm’s. Maybe ask Santa for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted December 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 21xdc-description of item does not say how many rpms. Can you give me an idea what yours does? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted December 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Is 10 rpm too fast when using Etex? Rack will be spinning in basement where it is cool, below 70 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I have used several that were from 3-4-6 rpms and results have been the same with multi different finish's from epoxy, e-tex, KBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I have only bought 2 and just picked up whatever the Lowe's had at the time. They both have turned a lure or two over the past 14 years. I don't think this is one of those too critical of things to be honest or something to spend a lot of money on. Something near 6 RPM is the fastest I would want to go and typically a little slower. Etex never won me over and only did 30 to 40 lures with it. Now that being said I do have a 1/3 HP Bodine motor with variable RPM control I picked up at work (we throw away some amazing stuff). I was going to use it whenever mine stopped working.

finlander Posted December 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 This variable control, is it an add on feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted December 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Can a reostat? ( is that the proper word?) variable speed control be added to an electric motor without harming it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty's Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 The two biggest problems with the grill motors is LOUDNESS and cheap construction. A bodine gearmotor is 100% silent... it will turn your hand off your wrist with torque. A faster speed can be run on a low voltage wall wart...and a switchable style wall wart can be used to change the speed as can a rheostat wired inline. They can be had for cheap...keep looking. You will find them for $25 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty's Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Also one thing that I used to do was to drill the shafts and install a keyring at the end of the shaft. Then you can hook 20 or more baits at a time on it. I used to use Stanley 4" angles from Homies screwed to a piece of scrap wood to support every 4-5 lures and hook these end to end. I'd string them right across the shop between benches and use vise grips to hold the opposite end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty's Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Here is an example of one that will run on low voltage. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bodine-Gearmotor-32D5BEPM-W3/132733743604?epid=0&hash=item1ee78c31f4:g:Ev0AAOSwxHJbaMZe:rk:33:pf:0 This is an example of one you DONT want. The voltage rating is too high to step down at 14 rpm it would be about 1/2 rpm at low voltage. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bodine-Gearmotor-24D4BEPM-Z4-130-VDC-0-48-A-1-17-HP/132336856536?epid=1169968647&hash=item1ecfe42dd8:g:pYEAAOSw1KNZxD4G:rk:60:pf:0 The price on these has really jacked through the roof, this is all people trying to capitalize on makerbot stuff which wasnt around when I was using these. They did they same thing to cnc motors I used to buy on freakbay-someone figured out you could use them as windmill generators and the price went up 20x what they used to sell for. Crooks.

finlander Posted December 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Here is a Bodine electric 10 rpm. Not guud? I may slow it with diff pulleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty's Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 You can do that too but more involved. I can't see the plate so can't comment on the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finlander Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Maybe this 10 rpm will work as is. I just don’t remember what the old motor turned at. I think if it is too fast the epoxy won’t move about on the lure. Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty's Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 That is an AC motor so you would need a motor speed controller or an old style 110v variable voltage control. 10 rpm would be flying. You want to stay between 2 and 4 rpm. Ya don't want to be flinging the epoxy off LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I think motor speed needed depends on the type of turner you use. I bought a 1 rpm motor in a rotisserie kit for a BBQ, and used the motor to turn my ferris wheel-type turner. It worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I sent for that motor. I used to turn Muskie size baits. Now making other wood projects. Tossed the old rotissiere motor, and projects are waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
