Hi,
I'm new to this so hope that you will be gentle with me. I have the Time Life collection of books which I think are great. In one there are many plans for making dust extractors, and air filters and for the main power they refer to Squirrel Motors.
Obviously this is an American term and I despaired of finding any in the UK until "Good Woodworking" published a similar plan with a telephone number where I could buy them. Unfortunately the number was wrong and although the people on the other end were relatively polite they has received a lot of calls and they were restrained in their response. They thought that a company is Scotland was making or selling them.
Does anyone know what a squirrel motor is, what is the UK equivalent and where can I buy them. Has anyone built any of these?
Thanks
Rod
