I've thought about building one for about a year and a half, maybe we can have a "build off" (but I need to collect parts first).

Sorry I can't tell you much about the motor.
Thanks Russel. Build off.....sounds interesting. I've been reading a bunch on building one and would probably buy the $25 plans that are out there. I'd go for the no weld tube steel approach.

My whole thing is, not knowing anything about motors, the motor I have is a fast one, and I'm afraid would simply be too darn fast for grinding blades.
