I'm thinking about building a homemade rig for small batch concrete jobs- something that would rotate a 5-gallon bucket would be fine (nice and compact, and if needed I can just dump the bucket and start mixing the next bucket). I particularly like the idea of an easy cleanup, where I can just rinse the bucket instead of hauling a whole mixing rig to a water source.
Where I'm stuck is figuring out what type of motor I should use; I want something at least 1/3hp and running at (variable) 0-50rpm.
Has anyone else built a DIY concrete rig, and if so, any suggestions on what motor to use?
Thanks! Keith
