Something for the small operator

so i got 5 g for the neffco bowl and 140 rpm on the 18 inch bowl is 5G
Thank-you Assembler
the electric motor on a neffco is a
Dayton 6k342k
56c frame= 5/8" keyed shaft
1/2 hp
1725 rpm is really only 115 rpm
10 amps
i think you can get 1400 rpm electric motors
10:1-56c right angle gear box with a 1 inch keyed bore out put (Max Motion MMR50-10-56c on amazon)
a 1 inch keyed go cart shaft and 4 inch hub is about $100 cad(to bolt the bowl to)
a couple tapered roller bearings to hold the shaft vertical
less than $1000 minus the riffles to build it
or keep looking for a 24 inch bowl and copy the neffco

I like how you are thinking. If the speed makes a little over 5 g's may be good?
If the feed rate is very low you may not need the 1" shaft just like a washing machine does not have a 1" shaft. Most washing machines are rated for a given load size like 15-20 pound load size.
