I built this to support the effort of a coworker who wants to be able to cast hollow plastic and silicone rubber projects. The first motor was sourced from a hospital bed but it overheated within a few minutes so I ditched the gearmotor and fitted a half horse motor to my own system of belts and chains.
This time it's dependable.
