Pics 1 & 2: My rotisserie made from parts from Home Depot. I cut 1/4" disks to fit most tubes from 4" -9" . Use 3/8" allthread, one end you grind square to fit in the motor. It has control switches and timer for the portable heater, set it and forget it!
I do very little fg wrapping, I mostly use socks. 1st coat, with a disposable 2" brush, soaks through to the tube with no extra on top. For 2nd coat, clean with denatured alcohol, apply coat with 2" brush, spreading as it turns. Usually covers the cloth just enough.
Depending on small or large tubes, the mounting boards have 3/8" and 1/2" bearings so you can spin at high speed with a drill to sand the surface.
Pic 3:
Casper circle cutting jig, fits only certain brands and models, this 2hp Ryobi router did not work. I just drilled and tapped the holes to make it bolt up.20190425_213421.jpeg20190422_205801.jpeg20190415_211142.jpeg
