Inexpensive Spindle Indexer

Now I can only punch the part.
My next step will be an Ø 2" power spindle.
I already have one 40W HVAC condenser fan motor....but, 40W is maybe too small.

So, now I'm looking for an bigger motor. Something small enough to be fit in tool post and around 1000-2000 rpm . Any suggestions?

Thats about as cool as all get out! Great idea. (at least I've never seen it done this way before)

if you have an few different gears you could have an even wider range. Now we all have to start looking for gears to use.
 
Your change gears can be used.
The index pin must move in order to acomodate larger and smaller gears
 
Toolpost power spindle on the way....
carcass ready
