I have not used lacquer much in the past, but am considering using it a bit more frequently in the future. Rattle can stuff. Along these lines, I am thinking about the benefits of having the piece rotating while it is being sprayed rather than having it sit stationary. I have read of numerous set-ups to provide the rotation, but have never heard of anyone utilizing an old turntable (photograph, record player, etc) and am wondering how well it might work. My questions follow.
1. Is 33.33 rpm within the desired rotational speed window when spraying a piece or would that be considered too fast?
2. If 33.33 rpm is too fast, can I utilize an 'external' variable speed control designed for use with a router to vary the speed? I happen to have one of these sitting around the shop, unused. As I recall, there is a type of electric motor with which these speed controls are compatible while other electric motors would be damaged by such a use. Induction motors, perhaps??? I don't recall, nor do I know the type of motor typically found in a turntable. Any advice/thoughts?
