I'm interested in building a tumbler, like the ones that jamesp built, with 6" PVC, and was wondering if this type of motor would work? I know very little about motors, but, being in the roofing business, I have free access to these type motors (roof top power vents). If it can work, any suggestions on set-up, would be fantastic! 3.4 amp shaded pole, 120V, 1000 RPM - Approx. 1/12 HP Thanks, Jeremy

MUST BE CONTINUOS DUTY
Should have plenty of power Jeremy. Wire a plug on it to make sure it works.
You will have to figure a way to mount it.
that big diameter motor should have a ton of torque, better than horsepower.
Better make sure it is rated for 'continuos duty'. or is it made to turn on for just a few seconds.... It says damper motor, a lot of damper motors are not made to run continuously.
