I use the sewing machine motor, wired through a dimmer switch and a micro-switch. No need to count revs, seconds, or anything else. I can twist both legs simultaneously, transfer to the middle hook,which turns in reverse, and furl the two legs together in not much more time than it took to type this! The micro-switch turns everything of at the proper initial twist and the final finished length. I furl at something in excess of 300 rpm, based on actual tachometer measurements. I fail to see how any other set up could be faster than this. I will put the uniformity of my leaders up against any and all others out there.
