Size of pulley is beyond the scope of these plans. I used an 1800RPM motor with two 3-1/2” pulleys. https://amzn.to/304vZp7 (affiliate link) • (1) 3/4” x 36” Keyed Shaft - If you can find a shorter one that will work. This was what I could find affordably. https://amzn.to/39wrtmc (affiliate link) • (1) Adjustable V-Belt - https://amzn.to/2X1vtWN (affiliate link) • (1) 3/16” key stock 24” - https://amzn.to/2DdrYWc (affiliate link) • (2) Pillow Block Flange Bearings 3/4” - https://amzn.to/39zL19t (affiliate link) • (1) Power Switch - https://amzn.to/3hC3JQo (affiliate link) • (1) 1/2” Threaded Rod 9” Long - I found this at my local ACE hardware. https://amzn.to/2CSNqA9 (affiliate link) • (1) 1/2” Nut and Wing Nut • (8) 7/16” x 2” Bolts and Nylon Lock Nut • (1) Electric Motor - We used an old 1/2HP Blower motor at 1800RPM. This is a good alternative that’s new. You will likely want a small pulley on the motor to slow the drum speed down. a 2” pulley should be good. https://amzn.to/302Naas (affiliate link) • (1 roll) PVC Edge Banding - Optional. To hide the Melamine edges. https://amzn.to/302KVny (affiliate link) • (1) Wood glue - Titebond 2 is what we used but, any wood glue works. https://amzn.to/3hHDNDb (affiliate link)
