Not a rod builder by any means, have only fixed a few guides. But what Saltheart said about the BBQ rotessiere motor is a great idea. When I first had to fix a guide, I looked all around my house for a slow turning motor. Tried my variable speed drill, but that didn't work, it didn't like the slow speed for that long.

PM'd Saltheart, he pointed me in the right direction, and with his help, I found that idea elsewhere, and guess what?....happened to have one that was never used for it's intended purpose. Worked like a charm, once I rigged up a jig to hold the rod onto it. The RPM's on them are just about right, battery operated, and relatively quiet.
