This is the motor I will be using, a 1200W unit from a ALDI Gardenline water pump. Last time I made my our wooden pulley which never ran as true as I would have liked so this time I bought a $20 pulley from Conon Motors in Glen Waverley.

I would love to buy one of their motors as well but a 1.5HP 4 pole is around $200 dollars.
