    I have received my JRK 12v12 and the hall effect pots.
    Also received an email saying my motors had shipped yesterday!

    Awesome I think to myself and then notice that I had ordered the 150/160 RPM variants of the PGSaw motor.

    Are these going to be useful and/or is there a way to mod them down to ~40 RPM?

    Cheers,
    Sean.

    The ~40RPM was based on a previous link I saw from a member's build and/or I have early onset dementia. ;)

    Here is the link to the motors I purchased, which I cannot post since I have less than 5 cumulative posts.

    Ebay Search "Details about GEAR MOTOR 12 VOLT GREAT FOR SAWMILL/CRAB POT PULL/FEED 150/160 rpm 25:1 ratio"

    I think 60rpm is a minimum to get enough speed...

    The possible linear speed really depends on the available torque and CTC of the attached lever for a given design and load.
