Spinner RPM's

[ProfessorM]

I am contemplating building a spinner again and was wondering what RPM you would prefer to have the plugs rotate at. P.

Put some sun lamps in there, while your at it P., sooz ya can maintain you tan.

dayton grearmotor
mod. 3m103...full load rpm..10

does a 10' 4" pvc pipe with 6 surf rods clipped on at once for hours on end...works very well on plugs too.

3m104 does 6 rpm.but maybe to slow for thin poxies.

The ones I have are 4 to 5 rpm......

4-5 rpm seems to be good.
I made one of those ferris wheel types to do 12 at a time but learned the hard way that the plugs must be secured in a way that they cant rotate on the hooks. Epoxy warts are an ugly thing
I found that taping the tail loop to the hook works.

Mine runs around 15rpm..

you can use gears/chain or belta/pulleys to get the desired speed...

I had a 18 rpm motor, spun too fast for plugs that aren't round.
Got a Dayton shaded pole gear motor 3M098 turns 4 rpm. I like it. Probably $65.......don't remember exactly.

If I were to build another spinnner (which I may at the end of this plug building season) I would opt for a AC/DC gear motor with Electronic speed control, Then, rather than changing speeds by changing belts and driven gear (as I can do now if the need arrises) I could change speeds with a turn of a dial.....
