Need some advice and this is the general outline of my project. I’m building a welding turntable that will be 12”x12”x12” using a 1 1/2 shaft. The lathe chuck is 7 ¾ and the motor is a 30 RPM gear drive with a 30 tooth 5 inch chain sprocket already installed. I have a Dart Speed control that can vary the Primary Motor speed from 1-30 RPM. See the pictures to get a general ideal of what I’m working with. I’m trying to figure out the gearing ratio I should use. Maybe 5 RPM
Thanks for any ideals.
