My rotissary motor had a 5/16 sqare drive ... that fit over the drive motor... I through bolted the drive to the motor, I turned the opposite end round ( 1/4") and fitted it with a flex coupling.. this solved alignment problems..... from there it's all belt driven..

for me.. I have as much fun building jigs and tools to aid the job as i do building plugs...
Where can you buy 5/16th square stock, preferably aluminum, to keep the weight and the workload down on the drive-motor?
