Tip for home made burnisher motors

See, it happened.

Here is something that would be perfect for a burnisher.

I don't know the shaft size, but it's a servo motor with adjustable speed and a mount. $135.00 shipped sounds like a great start to a burnisher.

Just got back to this post. Your setup looks good, similar to what I use. I'll bet you're really enjoying burnishing now!! As for the servo motor you mentioned, there's lots written about these in the Sewing Machine section. They are generally used to replace the large, heavy (and fast!) clutch motors on industrial sewing machines. I have 3 spare clutch motors that I'm trying to think of a use for! Would be great for a burnisher (bit of overkill, though) if I had somewhere to set one up. If I can sell one of my bikes then I may have room in my garage to make a decent burnishing stand. Something TT said has got me thinking, i.e.mounting the motor vertically with a table around the shaft to act as a guide. Might also be possible to mount a sanding drum in place of the burnisher to give nice square edges.

A router table could probably work.

What size do you need?

The motor burnisher I bought has a 1/2 and 5/8 bushing installed in it. I already have mine set up on an old Jacuzzi pump motor. 

I was just thinking your servo motor would be an easy fix for speed control at a reasonable price. But as things stand today I can't afford to pay attention. So, it was mostly pipe dreaming.

I do lots of that too . I think you'll find your setup is perfectly adequate without a speed control.

It hums pretty fast. Just haven't had anytime at the bench the last few weeks.
