The best motor is a dayton gear motor, about 60 bucks and will outlive a chinese rotisserie motor by a few decades.

The best spinner I've seen is Joe's (Rockfish9). He posted it all somewhere. That thing is the nutz.

Here is what I use.
Just a box, plexi doors, two bulbs, rehostat, on off switch, 4rpm dayton motor, wire spool, some angle iron and screen door rollers.

I use piano wire bent on one end that slides into a slot (with an index hole on one end) and held in with rubber bands.

Works well. I can spin 12 plugs that weigh 3-4 oz no problem.
Hasn't burned the house down yet, either.

Mine is constructed out of plywood scraps and stuff I had laying around. Uses a microwave carousel motor which I found on the side of the road. The whole project didn't cost me a dime, however I just picked up a lamp holder I have yet to wire up to a dimmer so I can control the temp alot easier. A plexiglas window on the front might come in handy as well.

I built this one with some plywood and a few elect items.





Has a sliding plexy front window and a cheap thermostat on the inside wall.
