Its a Fisher scientific 225. Its max rpm is 3300, not 6000 like I thought, but thats still spinning pretty fast. I doubt the motor would have any issue with a 10" bowl. I never thought to check height space. I'll look this weekend.
So I just picked this up today. I wonder if we can just get a bowl made for it.
The bowl is 7 inches but the opening is 11. I think an 8 or 10inch bowl could work.
I agree, we can heat the oil prior or make our own inline heater. 3450rpm should be plenty. I would worry more about how dirty the oil is over speed of the bowl. The dirtier it is the more cycles it will need to be fed through.
