For a rock tumbler, a low-speed, high-torque motor is ideal, typically in the range of 1/4 to 1/2 horsepower. A motor with a speed of around 30 to 60 RPM is suitable to ensure proper tumbling without damaging the rocks. It's also important to choose a motor that can operate continuously for several days, as tumbling can take a long time. A gear reduction motor can provide the necessary torque at lower speeds, making it an excellent choice.
