Don't ask how much it cost...but you can imagine it would do a f*ckin good job at making pasta

Make me dinner dammit!

Tino, remove arm, apply drill. Problem solvered.

They are 240V and have a reduction box inside so they have good torque .
Drive is usually a square section steel rod, so it shouldnt be to hard to adapt something like that.

That may work ill check it out, torque is the key as i was struggling to turn the arm a few times..

John i dont think a drill will have enough torque to work..

Joe that is a nice machine, i know the automated one that i have is around 2gs so that one must be atleast 4-5gs.. hahahh

Pete, The bocatinni i think there called was absoultely delicous worth the 45 mins of pain to make enough just for 6 ppl.. hahah Kill any bought pasta hands down..

Hmm if a drill won't work, I'm curious to know how much power is needed. One way to work on the arms!

Havent tried a drill, think ill go with the motorised rotiserie. ill try and pick one up from bunnings.. hahah

its hard work to make alot of it as its not like normal spaghetti it has a hole right through the centre and thus needs alot more force..

8k, plus 3.5k for the group attachments

My dad and uncle bought it a fair few years ago (the design hasn't changed for 10 years), when my uncle went on a business trip to Italy to buy baking machinery, and since then we've made many many many kgs of spaghetti, lasagne sheets, ravioli, etc. Nothing comes close!

Only thing is the parts....you don't break it much, but its pricey when you do. Once when we were cleaning it, a rag got caught in the rollers and broke the roller shaft and a few other components....$600 in parts, lucky my dad had the service diagram and we did a DIY on it!

rotiserie or spit motors are expensive for a good one
windscreen wiper motors will drive a full beast on a spit so it should drive a pasta maker easily
