Mini-lathe POWER FEED - DIY

[Paul Alciatore]

Wiper motor, what an interesting idea. It is DC so it is reversible. Looks like a geared motor so slow speeds are possible. A quick check showed some are available for under $25. Sounds like a great choice for projects.

One question, does the average wiper motor have a back and forth mechanism built in or is that normally separate from the motor itself?

And that is a great project. Make lots of chips with it.
