CTS case trimmer project with motor?

[Darklyte27]

So i was looking at the giraud, a calgunner msged me about the CTS trimmer,

Im thinking if this can be a project to make a CTS with a motor.

its still wont be a giraud that does 3 things but i think the CTS does 2? length and inside chamfer? vs the giraud doing inside and outside chamfer.

i found that the giraud uses a Dayton 1D210 motor 1/th HP i think
OEM they are about 150$ - 200$ new

possible to ebay a motor for 50$ or so i think.

Go to goodwill or a like shop and get an old sewing machine motor with controls. Some small pulleys can be turned on a lathe and a big "o" ring for a belt.

I love my Giraud but after a lengthy session one day I found the bearings were going. I replaced the cheap Chinese bearings with some quality Japanese bearings. While I had the thing apart I started thinking about how easy it would be to make something that had several cutters so that I wouldn't have to swap parts around so much. Sort of a Giraud on steroids utilizing several motors or better yet a way to switch the drive line from one cutter to another easily in the same unit. Probably have 3 to 4 cutters with central chip collection and a single vacuum port for sucking them out rather than having to stop to open it up and suck them out with a small shop vac like I do now. Like the OP I found a spare motor on eBay for about $50 so one of these days I might actually make something out of this crazy idea I had.
