So I'm looking for a motor to power my winder, I was thinking of getting a 12V motor high torque motor of ebay, currently found one which does 30RPM, Is this sensible or too slow. I can naturally gear it however, I want I just need some opinions.

A 30 rpm motor has a gear reduction on it. The motor itself is probably turning 10k or more. When you search on ebay, if you use search terms like "12 volt 1500 rpm motor" you'll get better results. 1 2A DC 12V 1500rpm 25GA 120mA High Torque Electric Gear Box Motor 25mm New | eBay

I agree with John, that 800-1500 is ideal, especially if you are hand guiding.
I even wind slower on the start and on the finish, 1500 or so in the middle of the wind when things are going good.

Originally posted by Peteus View PostI think I will be going a bit slower due to size of bobbins I will be using. Bass and multi stringed guitar bobbins. So I need a bit slower but, I will aim for 800+RPM.It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure. — Albert Einstein
