Hello,
Thanks for the suggestions. I will have to strengthen the wheel before adding power to it.

I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of speed to run for metal? It has to be slower than wood for sure, but I'm not sure by how much. I have a motor that runs at 1500RPM and I guess the wheel will spin slower. Should I calculate meters or feet per minute and figure out how slow to run the wheel?

Thanks,
BTW it's Eddie if anyone cares!
