Reply to comment by dr_xenon in [Help] Creating a jig to coil cable around a rod with a food pedal motor by [deleted]

my 1/2 rod is 1ft and my 3/8 rod is 2ft I dont need a lot of force just enough for me to coil the cable tightly as it spins using the foot pedal to determine the speed.

There are some variable speed foot switches on Amazon. You’d need to try them with your drill to make sure they’re compatible. Or get a variable speed drill and set the trigger to desired speed and blip the foot pedal to go slow at first then pick up speed.

At that length you may need support on the end. Since it’s not high force or long run time you could probably get away with a block of wood with a half-round notch.

Might not even need the notch :)
