Hi Larry. I suggest you take a good read through the archives. Here is
a good post to start with (links other posts):
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/papercreters/message/2507
No one on the list is likely to have exact answers for your particular
situation, since there are many many variables involved (specs of the
motor, specs of the axle, type of blade, how blade is mounted, size of
drum, voltage and amperage of power available, thickness / content of
desired mix, etc). Not trying to discourage you, just the opposite.
You will find alot of this information with a few simple experiments,
if you let some previous posters experience guide you on the basic
safety and other guidelines.
