I just finished building my dryer fashioned after yours. I had a buddy of mine give me a small ac gear motor that works great as far as balance goes. I've loaded it with plugs on just one half of the wheel with no balance issues. The motor I have is 12 rpm which I'm not sure if that is to fast? I've searched it out and have seen where some guys are turning as much as 36 rpm. The first time I used the wheel I didn't use the heat and I wasn't crazy about how the finish came out so next time I'll use heat and see what happens. I've gone on Graingers website and I can get the same frame size motor in 4, 6, or 9 RPM models for $40-$50. Thanks for the Ideas for building my turner.
