What kind of motors are those? 12 volt?

Yes it is getting bigger it's not until you see the material to be machined you get a better idea of the size.
I will re weigh the machine soon to find out where is at for weight and put it up on a Wedico float to put the size of it into prospective.
The motors came from a friend in Germany.
They are a worm drive unit and are 12 volt, from memory they do about 21 rpm and stall at about 7 amps so they should be strong enough to do what we want without breaking the drive line inside with to much power.
Testing will tell.
