Motorize my bead rollers

rotary former.jpgHi all, I'm one of the new guys. I did a search for motorized roller conversions but only came up with a thread that concentrated mostly on the Harbor Freight power drill set up. I want something a little less crude than that but I'm no master of electrics either. The two units I want to motorize are: Eastwood bead roller PEXTO type rotary style bead roller/former (see photos attached) I have a nice 6 amp foot pedal from a Husqvarna sewing machine (US current). I'm thinking about 14 inches for the top pulley wheel and maybe two inches for the small one. Prefer to use V-belt pulleys as I can get them for nothing at scrap yard. As far as motors, I'm not opposed to using a power drill as I have a vintage spare Milwaukee variable speed drill I could cannibalize. I have a small lathe so I can turn bearings/bushings ect.to fit the drive shaft or re-bored pulleys if I need to. Pictures of other conversions would help.
