Hi everyone

100% complete noob here, please be gentle :)
I want to make a speed adjustable roller that can roll pool cues from underneath. They already make manual rollers, which look like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Wokyo-Lightw...67&sprefix=pool+cue+rolle,aps,130&sr=8-6&th=1

So I am essentially looking to power one of the four ball bearing rollers (or replace one with some kind of wheel of the same diameter).

I would like it to be speed adjustable, and the RPM's will be pretty low (5-15 rpm ideally).

I would ideally like it to be powered by a USB power bank rather than a 12v source.

I would also like to be able to roll in both directions.

I'm looking to buy the components most likely on Aliexpress to keep things cheap. I'm going to need a motor of course, and probably a spee controller of some kind, and what else???

All help and idea's very much appreciated!

Thank you :)
