I'm in love with my Thumblers but it's just not big enough and the 40lb tumblers for sale are to expensive.
The thumbler uses a 1/50th HP motor at 1500 RPM (on the shaft) putting the tumbler at 20RPM with the current pulley setup (this is the low speed version)
I bought a 1/2HP motor at 1725 RPM on the shaft w/ capacitor start (high torque start) to build my own better mousetrap.
My question is does anyone know how I can calculate my maximum barrel weight (loaded) so i can determine what size barrel to get?
thanks
