- How to build a magnetic cup turner. For epoxy resin tumblers. Detailed step by step instructions. I will be building a homemade turner due to a lot of people asking me to do a tutorial. I hope this helps you. I didn't want to buy one myself so I decided to build my own. The first one turned out good. The second one is turning out great. I made a few changes to it. I have experience in carpentry and electrical. You will need these skills to complete this task and the tools to do it.
Thanks Steve! I showed this to my husband and we were able to convert an existing cup turner that used arms with PVC screw on caps to magnetic arms. SO MUCH BETTER!! Thanks for putting this DYI out there 🙂
You are so welcome, thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial. It's going to be a good cup Turner 😊
Yes it will
Cool idea! Nicely done!
Thank you! are you going to try and build one
@@stevenwright6280 I would love to try but I have a few projects lined up that I'm currently invested in!
Hopefully some time in the future!
I understand do you make epoxy resin cups if so if he ever want one don't have time to build it and can afford to buy one I can make one and sell it to you it's $400.00
Plus shipping that's a seven cup Turner and a single cup turner.
@@stevenwright6280 thank you so much! I'll definitely keep that in mind!
What would you charge to just drill the holes on both pieces? 1x12x4 5 on the top and 5 on the bottom?
Sorry I haven't been on here in a minute just saw your message I live in East Texas I don't know where you are but you probably already got the holes drilled by now
Hey Steven. Thanks so much for this video. I just have one question for you. On your PVC plug that fits over the wooden dowel….. is that threaded? I can only find threaded. If so, did you drill it out or just jam the dowel in the threads? Thanks again.
None of the PVC fittings I use were threaded but some of them is not a regular cap it's considered a plug I advise people in the past it's better to just bring a small piece of the dow rod to match up with fits and if it fits a little loose you can always glue it in with silicone
Hey there, do you by chance have a list of supplies that you could share so when we do this kind of project we can get all the supplies to build as we follow along?
Thank you for your response maybe next time I do one I will try to make a list but it's very time consuming I did talk about most of the supplies during the videos.
By the way sorry for the reply being so late I haven't been on here in a minute.
What is the white part that you pulled the barcode off of, sanded, then drilled your own hole? Dimensions?
That is called a schedule 40 1-in plug just so you know the reason I sanded it is because there's a little ridge on there and when you try to drill it will make your bit walk off to the side that's why I got rid of that little ridge and the sticker but it's not a cap it is a plug
And the PVC pipe that I use for my handles is 1 in schedule 40 but if you watch the video you'll notice at the end I have problems with it fitting over the wooden dowels and I think it's because it's out of round or something I'm going to have to go somewhere and purchase another one I would just take a piece of the dowel with me to make sure it goes inside of it before I buy another
So I have 1 in plugs and a 1 inch dowel. The plugs measure 7/8-15/16 and won’t fit over the dowel. How’d you make it work?
Hey! It’s me again :) so I am in the process of trying to build my own, but I am confused about the circuit boards. You sent me a link to one, but do I need all of that? Which one do I use for the single Turner and which one would I use for my 6 cup Turner?
You don't have to use the little circuit thing that's all that is is a junction to tie everything together it's better to use it because it's safer so wires don't come loose when you're doing a single you really don't need that you can just twist the wires together with the electrical twister nut I just use it for multiple
Hoping you got your Turner built and wired up other people were having issues with the wiring so I did a recap video Hope you had watched it I simplified it in more detail
Hi Steve, I found only the motors and not the entire kit.
On Amazon the motor kit comes with the motors , The brass piece for the attachment to the motor electrical cords and comes with some PVC but I don't use it because it's a millimeter everything else you have to buy separate from the hardware store.
I got 1 in plugs but it doesn’t fit my 1 inch dowel rod. What size plugs did you get?
The plugs which are called the shaft collars you must have missed that in the video you need to order 1/2 in because they go by the inside diameter which the 1/2-in is 1 in outside diameter you want to get the black dioxide I think is the one that I got because some of them are not magnetic as well
@@stevenwright6280 I got the shaft collars. I’m talking about the white plug that you screw the hole on then connect to the gold part on the cup motor.
It's best to take a piece of the Dow rod with you when you go to get the PVC plug to make sure you get the right one It should be a 1-in
@@stevenwright6280 the inside of the plug isn’t 1 inch so it doesn’t fit my 1 inch dowel rod 😢
@@Freckledmagnolia The plug does not go over the dial rod it butts up to it The plug is meaning the shaft collar right it's half inch inside but the outside diameter is 1 in if you remember when I was making the arms the plug goes inside the PVC and the plug is only used for steel so the magnet will attach to it The magnet screws to the end of the dowel rod and the plug butts up against it so however long your Dowel rod sticks out is where you need to install the plug remember take out that little screw and put the quarter inch thread with the bevel screw , remember you drill a hole in the PVC pipe and slide the shaft collar/plug inside and then use that quarter inch screw to secure it The plug is only because it's metal so that it will latch to the magnet on the dowel rod
So we built a turner following your videos! But my cup arms do not stay level when rotating. My husband made sure to drill the center of the 1 inch plugs that attach the dowel to the motor. And also we did your measurement of 1.5” from the top, 3” from the sides and 7” apart for the back board. And did 1” from the top on the front board. I’m at a loss as to what we did wrong! Any suggestions?
Send me a picture or video to my email wrightsteven368@gmail.com and I will try and help you figure out what to do
Did you use 1" dowel rods, and 1" schedule 40 PVC
You also have to make sure the motor is screwed to the wood straight It could be a little off instead of 12:00 it could be 11:30 or 12:30 like looking at a clock if you understand what I'm saying you have to make sure it's exactly at 12:00 straight up where the shaft comes off the small motor
And if it's wobbling up and down most likely it sounds like the screws not in the middle, just guessing that , unless your dial rides are not straight possibly but being as short as they are I doubt that they are not straight
@@stevenwright6280 yes sir. We have to sand out the plugs because to make it fit the dowel rod.
What would you charge for a turner like your making but with 3/4 in. pvc?
350.00 for the 7 cup turner plus 50.00 for the single,plus shipping-70.00 to 100.00 depending on where you are

What screw size do ion use to attach the plug to the gold piece on the motor?
The screw usually comes with the kit for the gold piece did you buy a kit from Amazon it's an Allen screw
I'm not sure what size it is because I just use what comes with my kit but you can do is take that with you to the hardware store and get it matched up It doesn't need to be but about a half inch long I think
@@stevenwright6280 I talking about the screw that you used to hold the schedule 40 plug to the gold part. It goes inside the plug to the gold part. I ordered a kit on Amazon but it only came with the set screws
Hi Steve, what’s the size or mm screw to attach the plug?
I'm not really understanding what you're doing as far as what size millimeter whatever you're talking about try to explain it to me better or attach a picture or something
Are you talking about the plug that goes inside the PVC pipe if so that's a quarter inch threads like I said I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about
Thanks for responding but I figured it out. Thanks!!
