Default Motorize my bead rollers

352-28187K.jpg

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.
