Gday, i am looking at building a rotary welding table to do some repairs to some shafts and other bits and pieces.
The mechanical side is easy but i am stuck on what sort of drive motor. I have looked at sewing machine motors and pedals but cant find one with reverse. Also vague on specs for torque. I dont want to much but it needs to be enough to turn 20kg icluding table and chuck.
I can get a 0.18kw 3 phase motor but it seems over kill. And costs more. Bigger.
I have looked at little stepper motor kits but am unsure how to control start stop forward reverse. I dont want to spend a long time trying to get it going.
Or i can buy a small rotary table on aliexpress for $500 AU an be done with it.
I rhink i can build a beefier one for that money but the time is something i dont have lots of.
Any suggestions?
