I'm wondering if any of you guys have suggestions about a good forum that deals with more mechanically related topics. I have a number of projects I'm working on that all deal with motors, gear reduction, metal structure/fabrication, etc.
I really need to figure out how to do a gear reduction drive from a fast motor to slow with high tourque (~40-100RPM) and a motor that won't burn out.
I found these reduction plates:

Here is the data sheet for the second link
They are both similar but I think I would try to find a higher power motor if it would fit (I can mod it). Price is an issue, so this is why I'm looking at these.
I was thinking about using a motor from a electric drill as they seem to have a lot of power for their size and should fit but it may drop the speed some.
Either way, if you know anything about this or can suggest a forum for this type of stuff I would appreciate it.
