Makermotor Shaft Reversible Electric Motor: Industrial Electrical Powerhouse Review

I built a milling table drive with this motor and a 12V DC power pack. things in their own stores. Standard desktop drivers are available, but they're quite expensive, plus projects like this are cool and fun.

Powerful and small. Used in my montage for roasting coffee. It spins a 20 lb drum with 5 lb unbalanced coffee weight. Quiet enough to easily hear the crackling of the first and second coffee roasts. My only complaint is that after a few hours of use, a small amount of grease leaks out from around the shaft. As long as it lasts I will happily buy more in the future.

I was looking for a DC motor that can raise and lower a rack and pinion drill table. After a few emails with Maker Motor and explaining how it would be used, they said it should work. The motor appears to be well built and offers considerable torque, but it failed miserably for my purposes. As the motor shaft turned, it increased from 100 RPM to about 1 RPM using the recommended power source. While I cannot criticize the manufacturer, I can say that their advice was far from accurate.
