Hi all, I would like to purchase a variable speed gear motor for a 1-cue spray booth. Where can I find the most affordable one? Thanks.
Where do I buy a small motor for a 1 cue spray booth?

There are lots of surplus places around that sell used stuff very cheap. Here's one example :

Ask around, there is likely a place not too far away. If you were in Western Canada I'd say go to Princess Auto.

This seems to be a good deal and used by other cue makers... http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=107745hardknox222 said:

dc motor suggestion
you want a motor dc 0 to 200 rpm's this would great for a booth the one willie posted is great other then the fact it is huge but money wise and operation wise top notch even has a starter mounting bracket and reversible with speed controller it go that route i spoke with the company and this is an item they always carry.....Leedchristal said:
Motor
I just ripped a motor out of a rotisserie grill type thing. It rotates very slow and works perfect. Very cheap.

when you use any types of motors like windshield wiper and rotissory motor how do you attach anything to them like a shaft or butt? Is there something you can put on the shaft of the motor or do you just use the motor to turn something else?
Rotisserie motors are not well suited for a spray-booth as they turn just WAY too slow. About 4 RPM. That's fine for doing a 'fast-cure' while under a heat lamp but not for shooting finish. When I'm shooting finish I'm spinning the part at probably 60 to 120 RPM.
Motor
I don't have any basis for comparison because all I've ever used is the same rotisserie motor and it's worked pretty good for me, but what advantage is gained by going any faster? I'd certainly change motors if I thought it would make things easier (I hate finish work:angry: ).

Thanks Dick I was just thinking of something that would attach to the shaft that you could directly sping the item you are going to spray.rhncue said:
Your idea of a pully is to spin another item. I didn't know they made pullys with that small of a diameter to fit some of those small size shafts on motors.
How do you use the motor to spin the shaft?CamposCues said:
