Pebble Pounder
I was going to buy a couple of these and was wondering if anyone has tried them before and with what results.

I think that because this motor is specially designed to go with their Factory Lathe machine. Their engineers have done all the calulations for building this motor that at 12v of power, what RPM the motor will give out as to spin the comm which needs to be perfectly cut. And the motor should not consume high current from the power source, in other meaning is the motor should run at cool temperature for a long period of time.
... that 12 volt of power requirement is what the manufacture suggests to get the best out of their products as to cut the comm. I'd bet that this motor will be running fine even as low as 4 cells but the RPM will be too low to do anything. At 6 cells should not be any problem and it should give out similar touque with the Integy one.
