Making a Mirror grinding amp; Polishing machine ATM,
16/3/2015#0183;#32;OP you don''t really need a wide range of speeds on the turntable, or for that matter hardly any range. I''ve used around 42 rpm on mirrors from 10quot; to 20quot; with no problems in grinding/spin polishing for many years. Also there is NO requirement for large HP motors in grinding and polishing. 1/3 AC is fine after pulley reduction.
