After the Christmas gifts were opened, I find that we now have a surplus old blender.
Anybody have any ideas for a good use for this in the shop? I hate to throw away a good piece of "machinery" with a multi-speed motor.

Put a propeller on it and turn it into the "Shop-Fan 3000" !

Sorry, I still can't face a Marguerita after that one night in Juarez, Mexico in 1965. Felt like someone wire-brushed my teeth for 3 days after! I didn't feel anything that was good for the first two days....
Actually I was thinking more in the line of a buffer, grinder, toolpost grinder, paint mixer...??? Anybody converted a blender at all?
Did I mention that this one was really shiney?

Does a blender motor go fast enough to build a tool post grinder out of?

Sounds like you just need to make a gear box and valhalla, you have a Power X, or Y, or Z feed for your mill.

I like the feed idea. You could have different speeds like CHOP, WHIP and PUREE...

Well not exactly shop related, but you could take apart the motor, use the rotor and rewind it into a 1.5KW brushless electric motor for model airplane use. I have a friend out in Norway who is doing it.

Is it a genuine "Bassmatic"?
