I'd like to make a bowling ball heater to draw the oil out. This would be used to rotate the ball while an arm with a wrag of some sort wipes the oil off. Will this motor support ~ 15 lbs?

Will the shaft be vertical with a plate mounted to it for the ball to sit on? If so, then yes, this motor will work.

This motor will not support the weight of a bowling ball but is a good choice for this project if you support the ball on "ball rollers" and use some sort of wheel to drive the ball it should work out. Mike L Sept 21, 2014

I'd really have some safety concerns about doing, the outward pressure may cause the bowl to crack and then come off. You might get away with it if you use the tailstock as suggested and at only very low speeds.

I am using the motor to run a sand applicator and it probably pushes 50lbs at a time and doesn't blink - just needs to be able to adjust speed to what you are doing

PM85, I think it will be fine for the job, but maybe not the exactly what you're looking for. It's not too hot (like a 1875 watt hairdryer) where you can't hold your hand up to it, but warm enough to melt snow. The blowing force is strong enough to knock off any snow or ice.

No, it is not that powerful. And again this heater is unreliable. Mine only lasted 4 months before it failed. Would not trust it at all.

Your heater is a pure resistive load plus maybe a small motor and the switch says it will handle a 1 hp motor which is a much more demanding load. As some of the other answers noted, a heater should be fine. 800 watts is well within the range of load they specify. A 1500 watt heater will probably work fine too. Higher than that is asking for trouble (which will be refusal to shut heater off or failure to turn it on after a bunch of uses).If it doesnt work, buy a husky and hug it when you get out of the shower.

I doubt it would work for that weight. It moves very slow and mine seems to have a little "skip" when it turns. I think the added weight would either not work or make the motor louder.

We have only used the sheller by hand to crack walnuts and it works great. I have no idea if you can attach a pulley to it and use a motor.

No you will need a larger model. I am turning a stick with foil attached to it. never hurts to try though, looks like a tough little motor. Country boys survive

Wow...Classic Motor! I use mine for a Minnkota trolling motor on my INTEX SEAHAWK inflatable boat, and it supports it just fine. It's adjustable, so I don't see why it wouldn't support your very cool motor. If you get it, please post your results.

Should not be a problem. It is a simple contactor which will shut the motor down immediately.Amperage is more than sufficiient.

No sure on your question, without load this motor looks good. Unfortunately when I mounted the motor on my bicycle, the motor burnt after 15 min ride. I weigh around 74kg, 4 x 12v7A about 6 kg.

If it's really cold, it may not pull it, just like it barely moves heavier grade oils for diesel engines. Warm the oil pan with an old fashioned floodlight to make it easier.

The standard motor that comes with the unit has burned out on my last two units. I bought a whole new unit to replace the first and the motor burned up on it in two seasons. I only make ice cream on occaision and in no way over taxed the motor on either of the first two. I purchased this replacement motor on amazon and it says it has an industrial strength motor. I haven't use my new one yet, so I'm interested to see if it will ouitlast the others. I would suggest replacing the motor and making ice cream without delay. I'm figuring it's part of the cost of operation.

Absolutely. I've had this tool for about two years and it hasn't yet let me down. It drives brands up to 3/4" with ease and I believe it's rated for up to two inches. I had an older model that required oil and it would jam at the most inconvenient of times. This one does not require oil and it's a pleasure to use. BUY IT!!

Yes, it is rated for 1800 watts which is almost 2.5 hp. So a 1/3 hp motor should be no issue.

The motor draws 10.3 amps on 110v. Yes you can run it on a 15 amp circuit. I would not run anything more than a light or two on that same circuit to keep it from blowing the breaker.
