Okay, here's the Frankenstein hat spinner built from scrounged objects. My buddy had a damaged variable speed portable band saw that still had a good motor and pulley. Mounted that to an aluminum plate and mounted that to an old end table. Speed control knob gives me a range of about 100 to 350 rpm.
That is pretty neat. How do you like the 100 to 350 rpm?
The one I built has a 2,400 rpm motor which I reduced to 1,200 rpm through gear pulleys and then attached a speed controller to it. I run between 40%-60% speed, so somewhere between 480 and 720 rpm.
A short video of the Frankenstein hat spinner in action.
The zip file uploaded doesn't actually have the video file inside of it. It just has a shortcut file which is would point to where the video lives on your computer. Basically no one an see the video. Please try zipping the video file and uploading.
