That's what I figured, a jugglers nightmare.
I have a DC motor off an old Golf trolly, pretty powerful, geared down I think it will be powerful enough for aluminium, can always go twice or three times. I particularly want to use it for tipping, I can do it on the English wheel but I think for edge flanges it would be easier and get sharper folds with a bead roller. I don't have a folding machine and in any case the flanges are often curved so folding machine not much use.
I have several offers of lathes I can use but they are all at least an hours drive away. I need one I can use close by and as I need it.
