I happened into this little motor, and had in mind to make a little machine like the Scary Sharp machine. Am not able to post a picture, but your are probably familiar w the horizontal platter that rotates, and has abrasive on it. I was going to put leather on one.
This is the little motor, it's from a CPAP machine.
My guess is its pretty good quality, but the torque would be very low.
Anybody know how to look @ the label, and figure out if geared in such a way to be able to handle the resistance of a blade on leather?
