Reply:Find an old 3 or 4 jaw chuck that's can grip what you need. goto McMasterCarr and get a motor with a pot, buy a gear reducer and bolt/ weld it all together. If you can find an old motor or what not you're halfway there. probably can source the parts on flea-bay/craigslist and build it on the cheap depending on how mickey mouse you want to be.We built a positioner like that, and it was for a $200,000 welding machine. Mind you we used some very good, old pieces of machinery.Welding EngineerCertified Scrap Producer
