did you have to break it? because those cost an arm and a leg

>>1055619
Just use a harbor freight grinder

if by broke it you mean i can't reuse it for it's normal usage then yes, i soldered the shaft of it.
it was a grinder i used since 15 years and started to be in it's end life so i recycled it for my diy power hammer (blacksmithing amateur usage), i put tape on the trigger so it's always 'on' when i plug it. and i have a pedal footswitch with a belt to start hammering and to be also hand free.
it's gettho but that work.

the one pictured looks to be a cap start ~1HP motor, maybe compressor duty, 3450 rpm probably.

what you need will depend on your gear reduction/pulley ratio

>yeah, like, for sure, okay, like totally
well its your fucking answer. If you're too stupid for that what more do you want? It's a complicated machine and you have a simple mind.

go buy an arduino and a 3d printer
